Office Plant Service
The spread of the novel coronavirus has pushed companies to rely on remote work in recent months. Some think this practice could (finally) be here to stay, touting laundry lists of benefits to employees and employers alike. Even companies like Twitter will encourage employees to work remotely (from home). Employees who work remotely will find it more attractive than a long commute, or taking precautions to avoid Covid-19 contact, or working in a suit and tie rather than pajamas.
Unfortunately for those of us whose employers didn’t already have a work-from-home structure in place, the pros don’t outweigh the cons. This practice will be unsustainable for them in the long term and means we’ll all be back in the office eventually.
Lindsi Katheryn at The Startup explains the pros and cons of remote work.
The Pros
· Dressing comfortably - Not going into an office means there’s no need for business casual attire. Think of the money you’ll save.
· No commute - According to one article in The Washington Post, there were 4.3 million workers with commutes of 90 minutes or more in 2018. Think of the time you waste commuting.
The Cons
· Cost - The cost for a company to set up even a portion of its workforce with the equipment necessary to work remotely was both a large and unexpected expense.
· Infrastructure - It takes more than just physical equipment to work from home, meaning companies may have employees who literally can’t work from home, because they don’t have an Internet connection or because the connection they do have simply wouldn’t support it. They may not even have a dedicated workspace.
· Social Interaction - For some people, the bulk of their daily human interaction happens at the office. Many have found that, without that in-person connection, they feel lonely and depressed.
· Real-Time Collaboration - Collaboration is not as feasible in a virtual setting and can lead to missed opportunities and lessened creativity. Long-term, or with teams that don’t have previous relationships, this digital substitute doesn’t work.
· Productivity - On the productivity front, people tend to work harder when they’re around others who are working hard. So, when they’re at home? Alone? That impact doesn’t happen.
· Remote Management - spread a team of people across multiple locations, and it’s extremely difficult to manage. Some employees also struggle with this arrangement, citing a perceived lack of support or communication.
