WFH: The New Reality

Computers and communication technologies complement the paradigm shift brought about by the changing environment of economies. Working is no longer confined to the workplace as the daily grind can now take place in the confines of your own home and workspace. Whether it is referred to as ‘remote’, ‘work from home’ (WFH), ‘home based’ they are all but online jobs requiring understanding of changes in your usual routine.

Technology Facilitates the Shift

These technologies utilize communication infrastructures that are both global and up 24/7. Interaction between employers and employees has become stronger through the advancements in control mechanisms. Use of computerized monitoring systems such as ‘Time Tracking productivity tools’; ‘Project management tools’; and ‘browser-based word processors’ facilitates greater productivity among workers even if they are working from the confines of their home.

These software or online tools allow real-time collaboration made possible with an Internet connection. Remote workers can actually create, edit and share files while giving instructions through ‘screen-sharing’ features from their laptops and desktops.

Change is Good

Surprisingly even barriers to upward and downward communications are minimized across different status levels through emails and team chats. Modern messaging apps have resulted in more uninhibited communications between supervisors and subordinates which results to better and collaborative output.

The importance of distance is reduced by computers and communication technologies as telecommuting is allowed in a remote set-up. Workers can now perform most of their work at home rather than in a centralized workplace. This is very advantageous to workers as it reduces everyday expenses, work on flexible schedules and even multi-task. These developments will surely reduce job stress while increasing job satisfaction. It can also speed up work and increase productivity through the utilization of online tools.

Conclusion

Whilst this reality is taking place WFH will possibly replace some jobs. Surely there will be the creation of new jobs that requires new skills and aptitude. This may include ability among workers to communicate proficiently as well as engage in the use of updated technologies.

Evidently as new practices are being adopted in the world of work, the convergence of media, telecommunication and computing technologies is creating a new paradigm which every member of the labor force must understand and accept.
