While COVID-19 is disrupting work schedules globally, employers roll over their heads about increasing productivity and making work schedules more user-friendly. Some of the most successful companies implement a simple working method that helps both sides – a remote work policy.
Researchers have already predicted that remote work will cover companies globally in a few upcoming years; there are weighty arguments for implementing this too.
It’s not that easy to transfer to working from home when employees benefited from a productive and energizing work environment just yesterday. People tend to lose focus a little bit easier, and distractions at home are much more impactful.
If a company decides to enroll in a remote work booking, people usually plan their work starting time and make a note for a lunch break.
Other times it’s indicated that the employee is working and is expected to pick up a phone or answer messages immediately.
Second, many employees are provided with laptops, so it is easier for them to connect to the work environment and at the same time enjoy the coziness of their home office. Many can mention it as a distracting factor, but studies suggest it’s all about the individual’s motivation. On the other hand, some people tend to use coworking spaces of cafes, where they can just change the environment but still stay closer to their home.
Researchers found out that people tend to be more productive outside the office for at least 4 hours a week (during standard business time) than those stuck by their desks for the whole week. Remote work lets workers manage their daily schedule more productively, which makes them happier and, in the end, increases the outcome of the entire company. Those who work with a flexible schedule evaluate their productivity at the highest level because the surroundings leave space for creativity and do not create tension.
Lastly, remote working practice is stress-free. Employees do not necessarily have to commute when for example, it’s hellishly hot outside, their managers are not looking over their shoulders, or there are no noisy colleagues nearby. Employees can allot their time conveniently without office noise and do the tasks more accurately.
In TableAir, we support remote work due to its benefits. With this in mind, we have released an ability for people to book the time whenever they work remotely so that managers and colleagues can see when you are working from home.
