In the 21st century, the digitalization process in the world economy has accelerated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has created the driving force of transformation by upsetting the order in many areas such as health, education, and the economy. The digitalization process has led to the inclusion of the remote working model in business and working life and to become a preferred method for many employees and firms around the world. The effects and innovations of the remote working model on employees are an important issue. In this study, the effects of the pandemic experience, which has become a part of the digitalization process within the scope of Industry 4.0, on business and working life have been examined. The study focuses on revealing the determinants of employment in new conditions, evaluating new business models, explaining future professions, and discussing the necessary education system.
