What does remote work involve?<\/span><\/h2>\n

During the COVID 19 crisis , many companies adopted remote work<\/strong> in order to continue with their productive and strategic activities. They were chaotic weeks because there were no protocols and people worked as best they could from home<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In many companies they were reluctant to implement remote work<\/strong> because they distrusted that people would perform their jobs well. They thought that in the offices they produce and achieve better results. But spending more hours physically in your job does not necessarily lead to better results. At the beginning of the pandemic, virtual work kept us connected all day, not knowing very well how to set limits.
\nAfter the confinement many companies began to implement hybrid systems to carry out the work<\/strong>. Others, on the contrary, forced the return to the office of all their staff, seeing virtual work as something very residual<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In this post<\/strong><\/a>I would like to share with you some of the ideas that emerged from the debate we held at Caf\u00e9 con Talento<\/em><\/a>about remote work. In that debate<\/strong> We have the participation of three professionals with extensive knowledge about teleworking: Amalia L\u00f3pez Acera,<\/strong> <\/a>(Head of Communication at the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency, author of the “Guide to develop a communication plan in a public administration”), Jose Angel Esteban Lopez<\/strong><\/a>, (International Key Account Manager at Zalux) and Virginia Cabrera Nocito,<\/strong><\/a> (Specialist in digital transformation at Telef\u00f3nica empresas, author of the book “Enjoy Tele working”).<\/p>\n

Some reflections that emerged in the debate:<\/p>\n

What is remote work?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Virginia comments that ” telecommuting” means “remotely”,<\/strong> therefore, not necessarily “at home”.<\/p>\n

Teleworking is done through digital media, without being “face to face”, and this idea is here to stay.<\/p>\n

Also to say that remote work implies maturity in the production model, (since it should imply a review of the work model and objectives), also implies impact, (how many tasks we do that do not make sense, we must question whether we have to review processes and change) and also implies an opportunity to internalize new values more in line with the digital age.<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9 Angel adds that remote work implies working “displaced”,<\/strong> but it does not imply doing it from home.<\/p>\n

And it is important to organize ourselves and work by objectives, it implies flexibility. Amalia adds that remote work implies the ability to adapt my work to my way of life at the moment in which I am, (being able to work from different places, with different people, etc.).<\/p>\n
