What are the critical challenges in
remote working?

New sources of cyber-risk

Potential security gaps have been multiplied by the number of employees working from home. Remote workers can be an unforeseen and uncontrolled vulnerability, especially when a very high percentage of the workforce is involved.

Confidentiality

Something as simple as locking a computer when taking a break will prevent strategic plans, personal databases or profit and loss statements from being seen by third parties living under the same roof, thus breaching important employee confidentiality agreements with the company, and the company with stakeholders.

Home discipline and routines

Human Resources departments should make an effort to care for the health of employees, and this includes recommendations on how to disconnect from work. There is already a lot of research linking remote working to depression, loneliness and anxiety.

New platforms, new communication

In some cases we’re blind to each other’s stress and we can be annoying. With so many messages it can be easy for things to be missed or misunderstood. Contextualizing and getting to the point are two ingredients of effective communication via chat or email.

Project and delivery management

There are many task management platforms, as well as methods to organize tasks in order to meet deadlines. In any case, organizing a production and delivery schedule, as well as encouraging proper time management, is the best way to maintain efficiency levels.

Excesses and defects

There are remote workers who won’t leave their seats until the job is done. There are others for whom the bark of a neighbor’s dog or a roommate’s noise will distract them. There are solutions for everyone.

Get all the advantages of remote working

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Increase confidence

Remote workers will feel the confidence that is placed in them to carry out their work without “Big Brother” watching them. This means that, in the absence of a fear-based culture, employees will be accountable to each other, not to management.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Increase loyalty

It increases employee happiness and loyalty to the company. Creativity, innovation and out-of-the-box thinking are not possible without people who are satisfied with their life and work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Increase performance

Studies show that employee performance increases when working from home by 13%, breaks and sick leave are reduced, which translates into a reduction in turnover of 25% compared to companies who do not offer remote working, total productivity improvements of 20% and savings of thousands of dollars per employee can be made.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Be ready for what’s next

The advantage of being prepared for what is coming: new generations understand the possibility of remote working as a ‘must’. That’s why recent studies say that, since 83% of millennials confess to being ‘burned out’ from their current job, 73% of departments will have people working from home by 2028. The current system will be rethought and improved as millennials move up the hierarchal ladder.
