ADAPT TO THE NEW WORKING SCHEME: HYBRID AND REMOTE WORKING

Although there were workplaces that adopted this working model before, 2020 was a turning point. Workplaces and employees have realized that they can do their work online and that the place they are physically located does not affect this situation much. Although the pandemic itself is over, we can still notice its effects in many areas of our lives, and one of these areas is that workplaces still adopt the remote working model. People working in workplaces that adopt the remote working model or hybrid working model may realize that they have many things to think about when it comes to adapting to this order. Let's take a look at what we can do to adapt to this new working order.

 

Different Working Models and Work-Life Balance

One of the problems that people who work with a completely remote work model or hybrid work model often experience is finding suitable work spaces. When we first start a workplace that works with a remote work model, we may think that being at home will be much more comfortable and convenient than being in an office. Although everything goes well at first, there may be times when we cannot establish the work-life balance at home correctly. Since it is not designed as a work environment, many things in our home may cause distraction. If we are not living alone at home, the people in the house may need to plan their own days according to our work plans. We may have to invite some unexpected guests who misunderstand the remote work model to our home. Our furry friends at home may be waiting for the right time to make themselves loved. These and similar daily routines can be a bit difficult to deal with when trying to do work at home, away from a real work area. There are some solutions we can apply when we are faced with such a situation. One of them is to create a small work area for yourself in a suitable room of the house. Some of the things you need are a desk proportionate to your height, an ergonomic chair, some tools and equipment necessary for the job you are doing and most importantly, a suitable computer. If you do not have a suitable room to apply this method, a corner at home that you think is suitable can also be suitable for this method. Although we can create a working environment at home, it will not be possible to create a completely office environment at home. In office environments that create a proper working area, the fact that every employee is at work and the general office atmosphere are the elements that instill work motivation in us.

If we are working with a remote working model or a hybrid working model, we need clear boundaries between our daily lives and our professional lives in order to establish work-life balance.

 

 

For Remote Workers Methods of Providing Motivation

If we are working remotely or hybrid, we may face a different dynamic than what we are used to in the general office environment. Face-to-face and one-on-one communication with our colleagues is replaced by meetings we hold in virtual video chat applications, ideas we exchange via e-mail, and phone calls. This communication we try to establish in the virtual environment may sometimes be weaker than the one-on-one communication we establish in physical workspaces. Since keeping communication tight within the team will also nourish the team spirit, it may be in our best interest to organize meetings where we chat as a team outside of work in order to establish better communication. In order for team members to get to know each other and work more harmoniously, they need to be able to establish strong communication. Working with people with whom we have strong communication will also make our jobs much easier and enable us to work more devotedly.

 

Since we do not have colleagues around us in the remote working model, we may feel lonely in the environment we work in. Although it is better to work in a quiet and calm environment, it is important to take breaks at regular intervals and having someone to talk to during these breaks can mean that our breaks are more productive. In order to prevent loneliness, we can occasionally meet with our colleagues at a common point and create coworking environments. Only working our friends This can be done not only with our colleagues but also with any of our colleagues who work remotely. We can apply this method . In this way, our communication will not be dependent on the virtual environment and we will have the opportunity to work together with people with whom we can talk and chat during our short breaks.

 

The remote work model is a very suitable working style for flexible working hours. As long as the deadlines are not delayed, the fact that everyone can work at their own pace and according to their own plan is among the advantages of remote working. Of course, it is in our hands to use this situation to our advantage. Knowing ourselves and creating a work plan that suits us, visualizing this plan in a virtual environment or on a board and recording our progress on this board are some of the methods that can help us with motivation. Being aware of our own pace and progressing accordingly allows us to finish our work on time without tiring ourselves too much. Seeing our development and progress on the job in a concrete way in front of us will also feed our sense of success and will be a source of motivation for us to start our next jobs with greater enthusiasm .

 

Keep up with the business models of the future now!

The remote working model and hybrid working model, which have become much more active in our lives as of 2020, seem like they will stay in our lives for a long time. It is up to us to keep up with these working models that we will probably use in the future. There are a few things we need to do to keep up with these working models. One of them is to keep up with technological developments. Today, technology is growing and developing much faster than in the past. Especially in these days when artificial intelligence has become a part of our lives, it is not hard to predict that much more sophisticated technological innovations will emerge in the future. Following these technological developments that also show themselves in our working methods and being informed about them will be very useful for us in our working environment and in the projects we are involved in.

Since remote and hybrid working models also offer flexible working opportunities, it will be inevitable to adapt to this situation. Being able to adjust our daily lives according to more flexible working styles will mean that we can spend much more productive time in our professional lives.

In the remote working model, international collaboration opportunities also become much more possible. Working models that make it easy for everyone to be just a click away will continue to exist in the future. In this case, skills such as being open to international collaborations and being able to co-work with people from different languages and cultures will make things easier for both parties and will cause the people we collaborate with to consider collaborating with us again.
