REMOTE WORKING

COVID-19 HAS FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGED THE WAY MOST PEOPLE VIEW LIFE, WORK, AND THE OFFICE.

Employers have realised that their employees are able to get on with their jobs without someone looking over their shoulder, and employees find that they have more free time to spend with family and friends, and not stuck in traffic or public transport for hours.

We predict that staff will choose to spend 80-90% of their time working from home, with the remaining 10-20% in an office environment.

IT IS NOW TIME TO CONSIDER THE LONGER-TERM IMPACT OF REMOTE WORKING AND HOW BUSINESS POST-COVID WILL BE CONDUCTED.

WHAT IS REMOTE WORKING?

“Remote working” simply put is when you’re able to work from anywhere, realistically that’s going to be your home, but it could on occasions be the local coffee shop, a co-working facility, or even the park. Ultimately, it’s not about “work” being a place, but rather something you do regardless of location.

PEOPLE WHO ARE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY WORK

REMOTELY TELL US THAT IT IMPROVES BOTH THEIR PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL LIVES, BUT IT’S NOT FOR EVERYONE, AND THAT’S OK.

However, for those who have employees working remotely, it is now critical to understand that “remote working” is not just simply about picking up a laptop and working from anywhere, things need to be in place to make sure that our businesses and employees remain safe and secure.

Patronum can help businesses better manage their remote workers by providing automated policies such as employee on and offboarding as well as security audits.
