We are now witnessing a shift in workplace trends – previously all employees came in to a physical work location, but now remote collaboration is becoming the new way to work. Varying schedules, customer meetings, long commute times and personal circumstances demand that employees are productive from their homes and/or other locations. Businesses cannot stop, or even pause, just because employees are not in the same location for a meeting or discussion. This has made collaboration from anywhere become a necessity in today’s world.
Employees are now more digitally connected than ever before, yet they are equally dispersed physically. Work-life balance and flexibility are considered one of the topmost priorities. Thus, every organization has to provide the right tools to realize every employee’s full potential without any constraints. Creation of a new environment that harbors the right technology for this type of work is required. No matter what the size of your organization, it is imperative that you transform your workplace and conform to new adaptable standards.
How do you make this happen within your organization?
To create this new work environment, you will need an advanced workplace design along with technologies and policies to tie them together. For a seamless implementation, collaboration between Human Resources, IT and Facilities and Operations is important – they will have to come together to create a plan and strategy that is resilient and conformable to this new way of work.
