As we (hopefully) near the end of COVID as more get vaccinated, the joys (and miseries) of remote work are getting more traction.
Pre-pandemic, employers told us that employees are more productive with supervision and that employees were expected to work 40-hour weeks.
One, if that was true, you hired the wrong employee. (But this is a thought for another day…)
But two, work-hours is not exactly correlated with productivity.
Post-pandemic, employees are proving that they can be more productive at home and their work doesn’t take them 40 hours. Not only that, but they probably saved 8+ hours of commute time each week.
Not only that, but it caters to people’s unique situations. Introvert? Fine, stay home. For me, I’m a night owl — I’m literally twice as productive at night. Mornings? I’m barely hanging on.
The future of work — decentralized and remote work — means more freedom, time-savings, and better work-life balance. Don’t worry, my office-loving folk, the option for an employer to supervise will probably always be there for you still.
