More flexible than ever:
How remote working works today
Increase employee loyalty and satisfaction, save costs
Our modern working world is changing faster than ever before. Even before the COVID-19 crisis, entrepreneurs were already facing the challenge of digital transformation. The pandemic has rapidly accelerated this development. Within just a few weeks, employees who had never worked from home before had to change their working environment and adapt to the new circumstances.
Both the home office and remote working, where there is usually no physical workplace in the company and work can take place from anywhere, also pose problems and risks. It requires a certain amount of discipline and self-organization to successfully implement these new forms of work. The boundaries between work and leisure are often blurred. In addition, presence at the workplace is still often used as an indicator of good or measurable performance.
Nevertheless, many employees appreciate working independently of time and place in order to optimize their work-life balance. And there are also many advantages for companies that want to establish this form of working:
What does remote working actually mean?
It is not easy to differentiate between terms such as remote working, home office and mobile working, as there are no clear definitions and the concepts overlap to some extent. They are therefore often used more or less synonymously.
In principle, however, remote working means a professional activity that is not tied to a specific workplace and can therefore be carried out from anywhere. This is also the main difference to working from home, where the employee has a fixed workplace in their own home - the so-called home office. The employer usually provides the computer technology and even the office furniture. A remote worker, on the other hand, works from anywhere in the world and may use their own hardware.
Whether at home, in a café, on the road or in a coworking space - the most important prerequisite for remote working is a functioning internet connection, as communication with the company usually takes place via modern collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams.
