TALKING
‘‘ business
The job market is constantly evolving and adapting to these changes is extremely necessary . A year after the start of the pandemic , I have noticed an interesting phenomenon : some work models and management methods , which have provided enormous benefits for both companies and employees , have spread quickly and are not temporary changes .
Contrary to what we saw in the past , organizations are having to adapt and stop seeing these changes as something temporary – but as strategies that , if implemented efficiently , can contribute to the entire functioning and productivity of the business . Among them , I highlight five trends that I have seen most in organizations :
Remote work , full home office and home office
Remote work ( when the employee has complete flexibility of the workplace , being able to choose to work a few days of the week in the office ) as well as the full home office ( 100 % of the workday spent at home ) and the home office ( part of the workday at home and part in the office ) are leading the list of major developments that offer great advantages .
In addition to having great popularity among practitioners , it has been possible to note the increase in productivity and the possibility of hiring professionals from different regions and even from other countries . In a survey by Runrun . it – a software provider that is a task manager – 81.5 % of respondents said they would like to work on alternate days ( in-person and remote ). Also according to this study , 57.5 % of companies expect to continue working 100 % remotely .
Improved communication
Informal communication was transformed and consolidated , expanding the points and frequency of
contact between professionals , which was extremely important for the workflow . Thanks to communication tools like Slack and Zoom , the distance generated by social isolation has not prevented companies from maintaining clear and close communication between leaders and teams .
Quite the opposite ! In some cases , it ended up forcing the teams to keep themselves updated and informed so that the whole process would flow even if at a distance . In HR , a term has emerged about this trend : the virtual engagement of teams . I can say that we are still in a testing phase , but I see clearly that many actions and face-to-face procedures , previously so common , but not so efficient , will soon be extinguished .
