		Abstract
In the original language
The coronavirus pandemic and related crisis has altered the workplace and provided a driving force push towards working-from-home revolution. Despite rapid development in ICT and digitalization in last decades, many companies remained reluctant in incorporating fl exible working arrangements such as working-fromhome and this concept used to be continuously perceived as a benefi t. The attitude rapidly changed when extensive physical distancing was demanding by stay-at-home policies imposed as a reaction to the virus Covid-19. The paper discusses the topic of home offi ce concept as a fl exible working arrangement from the perspective of time development, i.e. before and after coronavirus outbreak. The analysis points out a topic of upskilling concerning jobs across organizational hierarchy. Data on teleworking on European labour market with focus on the Czech work environment indicate a gap between the economics and thus different level of their preparedness for working-from-home economy. Authors supplemented their conclusions with their own research using online applications at the municipal offi ces of the South Moravian Region in the Czech Republic in 2021.
