Remote Working
Remote worse is a style of working that enables employees to work outside the traditional physical office. The concept behind this style of working is that for work to be successful, it does not have to be executed from a particular place. For the companies who have not yet invested in the technology, the following are critical technological considerations that are significant in facilitating remote working for your companies.
Hardware
Mobiles, although employees will be working away from their physical office, they will still have used some fundamental tools in the traditional office. These tools include laptops, phones, and internet access. Additionally, for successful coordination, these devices will require to be updated for proper functionality. Depending on the nature of work and day to day duties of an organization, equipment like printers, monitors, and other devices may be required.
Software
Communication within workers throughout an organization is vital in the execution of the organization’s objectives. Regarding this, you will need to have a variety of communication mediums right from the emails which are becoming outdated, outlook, voice over internet protocol (VoIP) to help in calls, and the modern ones such as video conferencing, chatrooms, slack chats, and skype. Additionally, dropbox and google drive is necessary to have.
Depending on your organization and activities carried out, you may use the following software accordingly. Engagement and performance tools such as track star, SAP SuccessFactors, and glint. Project management tools such as basecamp, Trello, Asana, Monday.com, Microsoft teams. Teamwork projects. Cybersecurity tools like real-time monitoring, multifactor authentication, and many others.
Business Transformation
If an organization is considering transforming into the working remotely. The following factors should be put into consideration to aid in the transition and maintain the smooth running of the organizations. First is the market in which the company operates, as transformation should be in an excellent position to offer services to their clients successfully. Secondly, are the people in the organization. The right people will enhance efficient and long a lasting transformation while the wrong people will not. Thirdly, the finance is required to facilitate the workers with both hardware and software tools to back the transformation. Finally, adaptability and operation, when doing your business transformation, ask yourselves how possible it is for your employees to adapt and get the processes running. Failure or delay in adapting to the new business environment and nature of activities may slow down your organization’s operations leading to a negative impact.
Recommendations
Business transformations mainly don’t affect the whole organization, and, on many occasions, the employees are the center of emphasis. It is therefore recommended that employees lean on their community to get motivation from those who worked remotely before. Also, a motivating working environment is recommended so to enhance focus on the jobs at hand. The most important to focus on is the facilitation of employees with the proper working equipment and communication, it is recommended that workers get al they need to carry out their tasks. To keep every posted about the direction of the company and its objectives, it always advisable that managers follow up on check-in-meetings.
Information to Jumpstart the Operation
Some of the information I would require from the companies in need of transformation is the number or the set of workers to begin the process, their information, and other relevant data as required by the organization. It is good to note that a company may not entirely go remotely at once, thus requires that the process be done systematically. Once this data is compiled and ready, I will need the organization budget for which will be used to purchase the necessary equipment. In regards, I will present the recommended set of equipment for each organization as per requirement and their budget.
