With all that has happened in 2020, particularly the pandemic crisis, the nature of office work is likely to change. Smart companies are gearing up for the worst, since it has become obvious that nobody is in charge of what can happen at any moment.
Who ever thought corona virus that started in China would eventually spread to virtually all parts the world and bring businesses and activities to a halt? For decades and centuries to come, this surprising event and its debilitating outcome would never be forgotten. It has also made companies to realize how important it is to prepare for the worst even when things are going smoothly.
So, what are the three best possible ways to work in the future?
1. Remote Working
Working remotely is a situation where employees or independent contractors work from a location outside of a conventional office space or business premises. Remote workspaces may include a home or other spaces.
The remote worker may also be working from a different geographical location. For instant, a U.S company’s IT team may be independent IT gurus working from India. This is an offshore remote working, which comes with many pluses for the company, such as lower service fee and zero overhead costs.
The pandemic has proven that remote working is possible, as long as the possible hindrances such as bandwidth and poor internet connection issues are resolved. Remote working is likely going to be a future trend in the work environment.
2. Outsourcing
Outsourcing is possibly older than remote working in the business world. In fact, outsourcing services are usually carried on remotely, even from an offshore location as pointed above. While many companies are currently adopting outsourcing solutions, it is likely going to become an increasingly in-thing in the future.
This is because independent contractors can still work from their space in the midst of crisis such as the one that the whole world is facing right now. On the other hand, conventional office work may not be possible as proven during the pandemic when crisis hit.
So, companies that are still contemplating outsourcing should swing into action now. It is better to be prepared than taken unawares. The pandemic took many businesses by surprise, which shouldn’t be the case in the future.
3. Automation
Some businesses are only paying lip service to automation. Hopefully, these companies have learnt their lessons in a hard way during this pandemic. Automating most tasks reduces the need for having many employees. It’s also a great way to speed up business functions and beat the competition. Automation is a money saver as well and it makes working remotely easier.
So, experts advise companies to start gearing towards these future work trends.
