CORONA GOES, HOME OFFICE STAYS

 What remained wishful thinking for many people for a long time became a real possibility with Corona incredibly quickly: the home office? A topic with which everyone has recently been able to do something and also has their own opinion on it, because the new form of work offers not only many advantages but also some disadvantages. Now the question arises: will the concept of the home office remain after the corona pandemic or is the economy returning to old, familiar structures?

Employees still want to work from home

According to a survey by the Bavarian Research Institute for Digital Transformation, around 42 percent of all respondents are satisfied with working from home, and 39 percent are even very satisfied. The desire is growing louder to continue incorporating the structures of the home office into work in order to adapt working conditions to the needs of the employees; at least partially.

Big tech firms disagree about how to proceed

Huge companies like Google or Apple, however, disagree on the way back to "normal" everyday work. While Twitter acts as a pioneer in the home office and allows its employees to work from home without restrictions even after the end of the Corona crisis, Apple wants to gradually bring its employees back from their home to their offices over the next few months. Other companies such as Facebook and Google are initially offering the option of working from home until the end of the year. But even German companies like Telekom do not want to rule out hybrid forms of work and combine a local presence with a home office in the future.

Working from home sometimes creates problems

But working on the sofa at home can also lead to problems. With the short-term changeover to the home office concept, network overloads already arose in telephone conference systems and telecommunications providers. The corona pandemic relentlessly showed whether companies are prepared for crises or not. Many companies are currently still inevitably working with immature software systems, whereby data protection has top priority. Web development services in Lahore provide you all the services from home in lockdown. Lack of technical equipment and too slow internet are common problem areas for employees. Companies should now upgrade their technology better and make sure that they have a sufficient number of licenses to use services and applications.

A mixture of both types of work as a result of the crisis

Is working from home now becoming part of everyday working life? This decision rests with the company itself and should be made in a constructive discussion and by weighing up the advantages and disadvantages of working from home. Many companies will certainly choose the route of a hybrid form of office work and home office and thus at least partially satisfy the needs of their employees. So a crisis also shows new ways. The argument that a company does not have the technical requirements to work in the home office no longer counts.
