For anyone who remembers the early days of remote work, we can certainly relate to the long hours on the phone with IT, the information that was lost in translation, and the fear of not properly communicating or understanding an objective.
The interviewee mentioned 3 different proprietary softwares her organization uses to improve efficiency, communication and collaboration.
I linked them out and added a quick description, but the purpose of the post isn’t to go into detail about each software, but to note the importance of finding ways to become more technologically cohesive, and most important finding a way to replicate the necessary collaboration that took place in the office.
This is especially true in the news world. The interviewee mentioned that when you’re working on news, you can find out a lot more about the local happenings in different parts of the country as a byproduct of your talent pool being widespread. We always hear about increasing the talent pool for talent’s sake, but what about for learning’s sake? We aren’t a political blog, but I think developing empathy and understanding for people whose lives and backgrounds are different from yours is always a good thing!
In Conclusion: Dynamic work as a concept is an excellent idea for reevaluating the needs of employees. The concept transcends the argument between those who support remote-work and those who want to come into the office. We believe some people will do better in a private and customized work-space, while others want their employees to come into the office. Regardless of where you line up on the spectrum, The future of work will certainly involve taking a look at the specific needs of the employee based on some of the following variables:
The above three factors can help any employer create a blueprint for future work environments.
