REMOTE OFFICE WORK (WORK FROM HOME)
One of the challenges brought by this situation of ours really puts pressure on organizations to think creatively,
innovate and explore possible options on how people can work remotely and safely to and subject to distancing measures being implemented by the government.
We must admit, the pandemic acted as a catalyst that reshaped modern day organizations on how to adjust and adapt to the changing environmental requirement.
According to JECAMS INC. President Mikas W, Salmorin, transforming homes into offices is a necessity, most especially during at this point in time, and the days to come.
Quality home office furnitures are currently slowly making their mark as one of the most sought after products nowadays (perhaps next to computers and tablets).
This is the point wherein I believe hoping that you will agree that distance now meets productivity.
Why home office work is recognized as a means for businesses to evolve, because of the many advantages it offers.
MORE (WORK) FOR LESS (TRAVEL).
Imagine the usual routine during morning preparations going to work, from taking a bath, having breakfast then traveling to work. Look at the time and effort of battling your way into the traffic, long waiting time for the ride, the struggle of trying to be ahead of everybody which contributes to lots of stress. Nothing beats having a home office desk and a home office chair and having work done right at the comfort of your own home!
FLEXI SCHEDULE SET UP.
Organizations are attempting to align productivity (aside from the home office set up) and explore more meaningful ways to help people to be productive, and by having this flexible set up, work accomplishments are expected to increase. There is this saying that in work, it’s about how much you put into the hours. Organizations are recognizing the 8 hour work redesigned, from the usual 8:00am to 5:00pm schedule, organizations are welcoming other work schedule options that can accommodate the 8 hour work day rule.
DRESS CODE (NOT REQUIRED).
The stress of choosing clothes to wear can add up to the concern of workers and can be attributed to some reasons related to poor work performance. In some cases, having uniforms has a good advantage against those who do not have. Work from home set up gives the freedom to choose on what to wear, as long as it’s presentable, appropriate and comfortable. Meeting people using internet platforms does not require (most of the time) standard corporate attire, plus, the virtual meeting option offers “no camera” and audio only set up..
BUDGET FRIENDLY.
Transportation, clothing and food allowance means everything to employees and it's a fact that when you work, you have to spend. Working at home or availing home based jobs eliminate excessive funds allocated on the above mentioned expenses, therefore, creating a budget friendly work environment that can maximize the budget on the worker’s side.
SAFETY.
Safety is an urgent concern at this point in time, likewise, adjusting into the new experience will provide employees a more independent approach on how they do things with minimal supervision. Remote work standards are set to prioritize health and safety issues during this time of the pandemic therefore, business continuity, communication and monitoring is relevant and the certainty of less office interaction is evident. Though safe (to some extent), the main concern will be the disconnection from the usual work dynamics.
There are some upsides in this pandemic situation on how employment is being reshaped and managed to cope up and adapt to the environmental requirements. While safety is highly promoted, companies are taking full advantage of the numerous benefits of this work concept. By merely looking things outside the box, things can be seen better, ways of improvement can be identified and innovation comes into play.
By being able to look at the factors that affect businesses, companies can adjust their process and shift into what’s best and be ahead of the competition. This work set up offerings are more than the usual for us, it has proven disadvantage to some degree, still, customizing workloads and time management will be the determinant of success under this set up, of course and also, the management support for this. Having a productive day at the office must also reflect a well accomplished home goal. On top of it, transparency plays a vital role to maintain a good and well balanced management-employee work relationship that is productive, worthwhile and interactive.
