Working from home, working from the train, in the car, working on the road, working at different hours depending on the type of task to be delivered, in short, working from any place other than the office where the rest of the work team is located or the company’s facilities are. This way of working has long been the dream of people who have seen that, by working this way, they can better manage their time and make it more productive, be more productive and have more availability for educational or constructive leisure activities. At this point, what then is the future of remote work?
What was for many just an idea, and only a reality for a few, became, with the 2020 pandemic, a common way of working: preventive lockdowns forced companies to continue their activities, but keeping their workers at home. Thus, solutions were implemented and the best alternatives were sought for the remote development of the operation, with all the advantages and disadvantages that this means.
Today, almost two years after the beginning of the pandemic, with processes of return to normality underway, many are the organizations that want to keep remote work in their near and distant future:
While some companies continue to thumb their noses at The Great Resignation and insist that employees come back into the office, data scientists at Ladders insist that the writing is on the wall. Remote work is here to stay. According to their projections, 25% of all professional jobs in North America will be remote by the end of 2022, and remote opportunities will continue to increase through 2023. (forbes.com)
The reason is that they have found that with this way of working there is greater satisfaction for both the employee and the organization, as the employee saves time commuting to the office and can share more and better with his family, while the organization receives better returns from the team and also saves money that would have to be invested in office infrastructure for the activities.
In the long run, fighting the change may do more harm than good. Many employees now expect remote work opportunities. According to Buffer, 99% of current remote workers would like to work remotely, at least some of the time, for the rest of their careers. That’s nine points higher than the figure from the same survey in the previous year. Furthermore, according to Global Workplace Analytics, 37% of remote employees would take a 10% pay cut to continue working from home. (businessnewsdaily.com)
Regardless of the sector in which the organization operates, it is clear that the best thing companies can do is to embrace remote work and think about the best ways to implement it or strengthen it if it is already in place. Not only will this give their employees satisfaction, but they will be keeping pace with 21st century business, which moves with the speed of technology and from the mobility of smart devices that we can carry with us everywhere.
And if workers expect to continue to work remotely in the future, and companies continue to improve the conditions to achieve this, then the impact that will be seen on a societal level will also be significant. Mark Cenedella, CEO of Ladder, “foresees that the increases in remote working will make a huge societal shift and will impact everyone. It will free employees from being stuck to a large city so Cenedella expects we will continue to see smaller cities and towns grow. Cities that have appealing lifestyle elements but historically lacked access to great professional jobs will see significant growth” (forbes.com).
If this transformation in working conditions is so important as to change demographics, it means that we are facing a fundamental, structural fact, which does not depend on the will of some managers who do not want to change their traditional way of organizing the business, but is a global change that cannot be stopped.
Between April and September 2021, more than 24 million American workers quit their jobs according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. As we enter the new year Workhuman’s January, 2022 Human Workplace Index insists the decisions employers make will be critical to their team, and 81.5% of workers feel more empowered to hold their leaders accountable for a better workplace in 2022. Over half (56%) said they would only wait 30 to 60 days for employers to make needed changes before they consider leaving. (forbes.com)
To face this huge change that continues its unstoppable march, what is recommended is that organizations also accelerate their process automation processes: a highly automated operation ensures that remote work can be developed easily and that coordination between team members is optimal, in addition, it will continue to generate value to the organization by meeting the expectations of the organization’s customers.
At Dexon Software we have seen that our customers, by automating their processes, also lose the fear of remote work and get better results with their work teams.
