At these days many institutions and companies switch to remote work. But changes at these area are still too slow. The question is what is the biggest obstacle to switch way of work.
Leaders without experience with HomeOffice
One of the problems could be people in managerial positions who do not have enough experience with working from home and aren’t able to imagine this way of work. These people will probably slow down whole process.
Workers without knowledge
Another problem can be people without sufficient knowledge of IT programs which enable working from homeoffice. Even though there are many possibilities at these days how to improve IT literacy, some people will postpone using new technology as long as possible. Laziness is standard human feature and corresponds with „saving energy mode“.
IT security
Its necessary mention another aspect of working from home and that is IT security. Working from homeoffice may require more security measures, but there are many products which help companies to solve this problem.
How to speed up the process of going remote
There are another aspects which prevents going remote but I think that three problems mentioned above are the most important. To speed up the whole process of going remote it would be nice to start with leaders and let them work from home. They could be a role model for other employees. Another important step is choose software, which use is not limited only to office. There are many software products which are ment to be used by employees working from home. If company use such a software, its easier for employees to swhitch from office to homeoffice, because they do not need study new way of work. And finally it’s about solving IT security challenges connected with working from home, but there are many products which solve this issue and which can provide the same security as when working from office.
