We show you some of the Benefits of doing home office and taking work home, a fact that companies promoted during the pandemic.
Although for some time, advances in technology had allowed a considerable number of people to be able to see themselves in the comfort of working from home, it was the arrival of the pandemic as a result of Covid-19 that prompted the adoption of the home office by thousands of companies and people around the world, who can carry out their work activities from a computer and thanks to the internet.
Different countries were able to adopt this relatively new work modality, some more than others (depending on the economy of the countries and the work to be done by the employees); However, a considerable number of people were able to integrate this style of work into their now daily life. According to data from the IAE Business School, during 2020 approximately 68 percent of Mexicans found themselves in need (or in the Benefits) to carry out the home office.
Despite the ability to bring this modality to reality, this is not yet fully accepted at present, since the population is in a process of home office transition and adoption, since just as there may be benefits, there are also some inconsistencies.
According to published study by the Mexico Internet Association in a joint work with OCCMundial where it shows the level of work at home efficiency According to recruiters from Mexico at the beginning of the pandemic, 28 percent of those surveyed categorized this work style as very effective, 65 percent of these as effective and 7 percent as ineffective, but over time it was have shown some shortcomings in this process.
Other study of OCCMundial on work stress in Mexico shows that workers are in a increased pressure with their jobs (digitally speaking), since they have considerably increased the time that they work due to the fact that their bosses demand more of them and employees are afraid of receiving reprisals for exercising their right to employment. disconnection digital; in contrast, they also show that people no longer want to return to a modality from job 100 percent face-to-face, since it causes them stress traveling to offices for traffic reasons, people in public transport, which implies a greater expense go to the offices and that the work environment is not to your liking, among an endless number of other reasons.
The aforementioned facts show that people would agree to carry out a hybrid working mode or, failing that, 100 percent home office, due to its high Benefits; However, it seems that companies are not yet sufficiently prepared to effectively carry out this way of working, since they exert greater pressure on their employees and manage to put them in trouble, raising their stress levels and, consequently , affecting their job performance.
The pandemic caused millions of people to adopt the home office, a situation that will be adopted by some companies as part of their daily lives.
