Experts forecast that remote work will still flourish until the year 2023. Hybrid remote work is where a subset of employees work on the office while another group works from home. A remote work policy will immediately help any employer that needs a guide specifying the remote work tools and procedures teams need to use. It is important to specify working hours, responsibilities, and paid time off. Another aspect to pay attention to is the training opportunities for employees. Just because they are working from home does not mean they should not have access to training opportunities.
Stress created from working too much shows that it lowers workers' productivity. Noted factors that lead to this are increased workload, sexual harassment from the workplace, and lack of support from superiors. There are a number of signs to remember when to take stress leave from work: vulnerability from work and lack of focus. It also manifests itself physically such as fatigue or oversleeping. Taking a break can help you manage your stress to a great level and start afresh.
The pandemic gave opportunities for companies to explore flexible working options and for employees to catch up on each other's work. The three types of virtual meetings are teleconferencing, video conferencing, and webinars. Teleconferencing which is the oldest uses only audio while video conferencing uses both audio and video via online meeting platforms. Webinars are led by a single person, and a group participates. Choosing the correct type of meeting assures that you make the most of your remote workers. Whether it be for formal events with outside stakeholders, catch-ups, and relaxation or fun.The 5 most widely used online platforms are Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Google Meet, and Webex.
