For most people, the pandemic has posed challenges in the economy, raising an array of uncertainties among businesses.
Workspace practices have evolved quickly and shifted into the world of remote working. Over the year, many companies roll out the best arrangements that will not compromise on their employees’ safety and productivity.
Based on a report by Robert Walters, 7 in 9 professionals in Singapore are satisfied with remote working arrangements and feel a similar or increased level of productivity. However, some employees are facing a sense of disconnection from their teams and might not even have sufficient office supplies at home. The challenges of managing remote employees is one of the biggest concerns companies might have in adopting this model.
Here are the top trends that are encouraging more companies to welcome the hybrid working model:
Socializing & Networking
Being able to socialize with colleagues is one of the top reasons why employees would prefer to come into the office once in a while. It allows team discussions to be facilitated easily and allow solid communication. As companies explore their workspace options, one of the common business practices is to have specific days for in-person team discussions and alternative days for remote work.
Office Environment
“To have a quiet space to be more focused on my work” is a common response that most employees have when they talk about work environment, especially when their home office is not conducive on some days. Some of them may even lack high-speed WiFi or office supplies.
Therefore, it is important for companies to create a remote work environment that optimizes productivity, minimize distractions and allow employees to have a healthy work-life balance.
