Models such as remote work, flexible hours and shortened weeks are becoming increasingly common, responding to the new demands for flexibility and balance between personal and professional life. According to theContinuous PNAD, released by IBGE, in 2022, Brazil recorded, approximately, about 9,5 million people who were working remotely, what represented about 9,8% of the total employed who were not away from work.
For Juliano Dias, CEO of Meetz, the implementation of home office brought many benefits. The model has proven to be an effective solution for many of the demands for flexibility. He not only reduces the time and stress associated with commuting, but it also allows employees to create a work environment that meets their individual needs, regardless of their geographical locations, affirms
Furthermore, the home office has been playing a central role in the implementation of alternative work schedules, innovation that is being consolidated as an important trend in the job market. The category allows employees to adjust their schedules according to their personal responsibilities, and this flexibility can lead to an increase in employee satisfaction and, consequently, in your productivity
When we talk about alternative journeys, we are thinking about quality of life, to be able to offer our employees the opportunity to be with their family, of not having to spend hours commuting to the company, to be able to enjoy life in a lighter way."explains Days"
In addition to individual benefits, these practices bring advantages to companies. By adopting them, organizations can diversify their workforce, with people from different places in the country, bringing visions about culture, innovation and different learnings. In addition to ensuring a more productive environment, companies may observe an increase in motivation and engagement. However, it is important for companies to implement appropriate strategies to manage remote teams, maintaining effective communication and collaboration
These changes are consequences of the new market realities, that is no longer willing to accept shifts that do not value its employees, like the 6×1 scale. "The transformation in work practices is an opportunity to create more flexible and inclusive environments". Companies that adopt these changes are well positioned to attract and retain talent, in addition to optimizing your operation.adds Days
Technology has become crucial in enabling these new forms of work. Online collaboration tools, task management platforms and video conferencing software are essential for maintaining productivity and communication in a remote work environment. The implementation of appropriate technologies is essential for success. It is important to invest in equitable solutions, that can ensure effective communication and efficient management of activities, regardless of where the employees are, як, for example, chats, videoconferences and project management platforms that allow all employees to participate.”, points Juliano Dias
Furthermore, assistive technologies, such as adaptive software and devices, play an essential role in ensuring autonomy and inclusion for all employees. These tools allow all collaborators, regardless of your physical limitations, sensory or geographical, have opportunities to fully participate in professional activities
Another positive factor is the significant implications for the economy and the environment. The reduction of daily commuting can lead to a decrease in transportation costs for employees and less congestion in large cities. Furthermore, fewer daily trips result in lower emissions of polluting gases, contributing to environmental sustainability.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, we could see the migration of in-person work methods, to the remote. According to an analysis conducted by theIEA (Agência Internacional de Energia)the amount of oil saved around the world during this period, it was 11.9 million tons per year, representing about 250 thousand barrels per day. After the general count, a decrease in consumption of about 24 million tons in CO2 emissions was analyzed
This change did not go unnoticed by the general public, that during theresearch"Ecologically Conscious Workers", commissioned by GoTo by LogMeIn and conducted by OnePoll, where during the last three weeks of March, it was possible to analyze that, on average, it costs about 50,32 hours a day in traffic to work. We are observing not only a positive impact on the lives of employees, but also a significant contribution to sustainability. It is a situation where everyone wins.adds Days
And it doesn't stop there. The future of work is shaping up with more flexibility and innovation. Companies that embrace these changes will be better prepared to face challenges and seize opportunities in a constantly evolving job market. We are just at the beginning of a great transformation. We will continue to seek ways to improve and adapt our processes to provide an increasingly flexible work environment, efficient and inclusive."ends Juliano
