The covid-19 pandemic transformed the labor dynamics in Colombia and with the economic reactivation, thousands of companies have chosen for their collaborators to return to the offices or maintain the alternation. According to the study the born digital effect, carried out by Citrix, more than 90% of employees want to retain the option to choose where they will work from, and 82% of companies plan to adopt hybrid models.
One thing to keep in mind is that connecting remote computers requires much more than technology. This means that the leaders of a work group must contribute to the development of empathy and trust among the collaborators, in the same way as if they were sitting next to each other.
Juan Pablo Villegas, Citrix Multi-Country Director for Latin America, comments the following:
“Given that work teams can be face-to-face, remote or mixed, it is essential to grant the same space of time to face-to-face employees and those who are not, creating spaces that also allow experiences that foster commitment, a good atmosphere labor and other attributes that can accompany a better organization”.
A point that should be highlighted is the one that covers security processes and access to information. The leaders of a work team must demand that their technological area evolve based on their work context, since a complete and reliable mobile and adaptive workspace provides the way forward so that efficient teams can advance quickly.
The hybrid experience of a collaborator requires digital workspaces that facilitate individual and group work and strengthen connection and interpersonal relationships, in which, regardless of the device, users have the same experience of their desktop and work environment every time they start their day.
Remember that with the adoption of a hybrid model, costs are reduced, more commitment is acquired and there is more productivity at work.
