As we began to Work- From- Home (WFH), we began to embrace tools like Zoom and Microsoft’s Teams as webcams and stable Internet access became increasingly important and overseas travel became a fond memory.
Eric Goh, Vice President & Managing Director, Singapore, Dell Technologies said that Dell expects that 60% of their workforce will stay remote or have a hybrid schedule where they work from home most of the time. So collaboration tools will be critical in ensuring a smooth transition to the hybrid work culture.
As Goh put it, “Work today is no longer anchored to one place and time. Instead, it is focused on outcomes.”
But we seem to have made it through what may be the worst of Covid-19 in Singapore, we’ve entered Phase 3 of re-opening where for some, the return to the office may be possible. But after almost a year at home, are we really ready to go back? Are our offices ready for us to go back? What if Covid-19 returns?
WERE WE READY FOR WFH CHALLENGES?
Dell Technologies recently carried out a survey in Asia with some 1,000 working professionals from Singapore and found out that 80% of them were ready for long-term remote work but were worried about productivity challenges. We asked human resource firm
Indeed about work trends during the last year and they said that many companies had seen little to no impact on productivity. And given the circumstances people are working in - the stress of the virus, many caring for young children and home-schooling - the fact we haven’t seen a drop in productivity is remarkable and showed what a viable option working remotely was.
