Summary/Abstract: This article analyzes the general impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the workforce with a special focus on Romania after 2020. Our hypothesis is that the COVID-19 has generated a speed-up change in how people work and their attitude towards work. As regards to the employers, COVID-19 made them adapt to the new sanitary conditions by allowing the employees to work from home, which has also led to an increasing trust in the work ethics of the employee and forced the managers to better allocate the tasks in order to continue to perform as a company. Also, this pandemic has led other employers and entrepreneurs to change and to reinvent their businesses. As pertaining to the employee, this pandemic made him more adaptable to change and to prefer work-from-home conditions or a hybrid system.
