The coronavirus will change how we work forever (✍️: kerenzulli) --
Prior to the outbreak, 69 percent of organizations already offered a remote work option on an ad hoc basis to at least some employees, while 42 percent offered it part time, and 27 percent offered it full time, according to SHRM's 2019 Employee Benefits Survey.
Since the virus was declared a pandemic on March 11, many companies have attempted to rapidly move their operations, culture, management style and communications fully online. Employees have longed for the flexibility that at-home work offers, and thousands of employers had encouraged remote work by eliminating private offices and putting open cubes in their place. The technology was already there from Slack, a messaging system, to Zoom video-conferencing.
The good:"I'm a lot more productive working from home, which surprised me," says Gonzalez, who began working remotely on March 17."I feel like I don't have someone micromanaging me. I can work really hard for two hours and then take a break and come back." She adds:"In the office there are a lot more distractions."
A common reason employers cite for not offering remote work prior to the pandemic, Lister says, is simply that they don't trust their staff to work untethered. They fret that employees will use working hours for everything but the job at hand when they're out of sight.
