Working from Home

 



Is Working from Home Here to Stay?

Workplaces swiftly shifted from in-office to remote to meet the current health crisis. Now a hybrid model could emerge as the future ideal.

Benefits of working remotely

The new norm for many organizations has made transparent the reality of working from home for an extended time. It is proving to be effective for many businesses.


Downsides of an offsite work setting

For many traditional workers, getting fully acclimated to remote working will remain a challenge because certain individuals perform better on-site. These are some reasons why.

  • More distractions: For some, being in a non-office space setting can distract from work — not everyone’s home life is conducive to work.
  • Not knowing when to stop: Having work always accessible in a blended home/office environment can lead to overworking.
  • Nontraditional collaboration: The learning curve could be significant for mastering how to collaborate on certain initiatives virtually. 

  • Implementing hybrid workplace practices

    The pros and cons of in-person versus remote working vary. What works for one company or one person may not work well for all. It’s vital for companies to hone in on capturing the data that tells them about working preferences and the effects on employee morale, happiness and company growth. 

    A hybrid model may be the best option as it gives employees the choice to pick the environment they’re most effective working in. There are many benefits to this model.

    • Allows collaboration both in-person and virtually.
    • Promotes higher rates of productivity when people are in their ideal workspace.
    • Opens the hiring pool to more candidates globally.

    Maintaining a hybrid workplace and culture

    The roadmap for a hybrid workplace should be strategic with performance indicators and actionable steps to account for all logistics to support both environments simultaneously. The journey may not be frictionless simply because there's a big dependency on the adoption of technology and transitioning in-person processes to a digital experience. Although once

  • transformation has transpired, the normality would be to maintain it.

    The hybrid approach should encompass:

    • Training to provide instruction on best practices for sustaining culture virtually and tool utilization.
    • Collaboration through e-mail, chat/instant messaging and conferencing platforms.
    • Culture enhancements, including virtual planned activities/breakout sessions with staff, proprietary ways to connect heterogeneous groups, and celebrations of heritage.
    • Capturing feedback by disseminating surveys to assess issues, areas needing improvement and what's working well.
