What should be taken into account when choosing a work modality?

The transformation in business dynamics and the economic reactivation have generated an impact on the labor market and on the hours that workers meet, in order to offer them well-being and stability. One of the substantial changes was the adoption of different forms of work, faced with the need to resume face-to-face work.

What should be taken into account when choosing a work modality

According to the study carried out by the consulting firm Mercer“Global Talent Trends 2021”, 69% of business leaders in Colombia confirmed that they had developed flexible work policies and practices in their organization. Employees have understood that flexibility helps maintain a balance between personal and work life and thus contribute to increased productivity.

Below we present the work modalities that are currently handled in the companies, at a national level, and the demands of each one, so that you take into account:

– Permanent telecommuting:

This modality requires collaborative tools that allow employees to communicate effectively. In addition, co working-type work spaces can be used.

– Hybrid work:

Companies have a physical space for essential activities, team meetings and clients. Collaborators can work some days of the week in the office or they also have the possibility of teleworking.

– Face-to-face model:

Companies that adopt this model prefer to have their employees physically in the work facilities.

According to the above, Sugueit Tautiva, Presales, manager of Axity, a Latin American company specialized in technology and information services, states the following:

“It is vitally important to prepare and protect yourself with services based on the best global computer security practices and from experts with a high level of confidence.”

Therefore, whatever the modality that companies or collaborators choose, it is important to take into account some parameters, which are:

– Monitoring Tools.

– Collaborative tools with AI.

– Telepresence teams with AI.

– Environmental sensors.

– Edge to cloud security solutions.

– Assertive communication.

– Training programs.

– Teamwork.

What is the work modality that Colombians prefer?

2022 began and the labor market continues its process of change and adaptation to the new post-pandemic reality, since after the contingency triggered by covid-19, remote work became the solution for different organizations and collaborators, in search for the fulfillment of objectives.

What is the work modality that Colombians prefer

At we carried out a study on remote work and the impact it has had on different sectors of the economy at the national level. However, with the implementation of vaccination globally, the return to the offices is a reality.

According to the report, currently 42% of the people surveyed (58% women and 42% men), always work in the office, while those who work alternately are in second place with 32% and those who work entirely from house are 26%.

Likewise, the workers were asked which type of work they had the best results with, and almost half (47%) stated that alternating work (work at home and in the office) is a good option for meeting work objectives.

According to the question: Which type of work would you prefer to apply for in your next job search? the answers were the following:

– Alternate work (Home/Office) 54%

– I always work from home 26%

– I always work in the office 20%

Something that allows us to know first-hand this report is that people today are looking for job opportunities with the alternation modality, regardless of whether they have to change cities. Undoubtedly, the preference for being part of an organization and performing functions from home and occasionally in the office is quite attractive for Colombians.

What is essential for the hybrid work modality?

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 Citrixmore 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.

What is essential for the hybrid work modality

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 VillegasCitrix 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.
