Work in home office mode is already a reality for many national and international organizations. In Brazil, according to Sobratt (2018), 45% of 315 companies from different areas of the economy have already joined this work modality. As a result of the pandemic of Covid-19, companies in sectors classified as non-essential, from both spheres, public and private, were pushed to adopt remote work to continue their business activities. So, this study aims to analyze the perception of work performance in the modality of Home-Office comparing the average indexes of different generations. Findings showed that despite of Y and Z generations are theoretically composed of a profile of people with greater skills for digital technologies (Kurz, Li, Vine, 2019) which seem to be a pre-requisite for adapting to remote work (FIA, 2020)[1], on average, Z generation reached a level (2.84) of perception below the average (3.0) considered for this study. In addition, Y generation, despite being above the average (4.06), obtained a lower index when compared to X generation (4.35). [1] https://fia.com.br/blog/home-office/

The present study aimed to discuss the 21st Century digital revolution and its impact on the employability of individuals, and how they can be prepared to reinvent themselves to face the new demands of the labor market. Recent developments in computing, robotics and artificial intelligence have developed even more powerful systems, showing to be capable of performing complex tasks, previously performed only by humans. In this sense, when analyzing societies connected by a bunch of technological resources integrated into a networked system leads us to think about the employment scenario in near future, considering the importance of preparing ourselves to guarantee our existence in a highly challenging and, yet unknown context. The likely outcomes of this revolutionary transformation depend on how the gains are distributed as it is already perceived a deterioration of inequalities in the labour market. What is expected is that impacts generated by the digital revolution on employability might be more socially fair and economically prosperous for all parts involved.
