Having worked remotely for many many years (to the envy of many friends who had to do the daily commute) I truly believe that remote working is better. The important thing is to ensure you manage it right and success will follow, personally and in business. In 2021, we will see the vast majority of the workforce (who are not customer-facing) working partially remotely if not totally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employers want their workforces to be productive, happy and loyal, but there are pros and cons for remote working – here are a few to consider:-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pros<\/strong><\/td>Cons<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
No Commute – Save on Travel<\/td>Damage to Transport Industry Revenue<\/td><\/tr>
Flexible Working Hours<\/td>Who is working when?<\/td><\/tr>
Less Office Distractions<\/td>Isolation<\/td><\/tr>
Apps and Innovation<\/td>Need to become own IT Support<\/td><\/tr>
Less HR Issues<\/td>Feedback and Support<\/td><\/tr>
Better Productivity<\/td>Monitoring Deadlines<\/td><\/tr>

My thoughts on Pros and Cons – What are yours?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Employers realise there are issues, such as communication, embracing cloud-based technologies and getting the right collaboration tools – but to achieve the business goals, this is the way forward. There is an element who will think they can abuse this trust and may stray from the jobs at hand – but let\u00b4s be honest, you do not have to be a remote worker to do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our workforce at uUnify and our partners work remotely and across Europe – you just gotta look at the fab pic Kelly sent me from Spain – not jealous at all!! We are able to network and communicate globally like no other time in history and I love it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that in mind, uUnify works with Panduit and INS Group on networking projects across Europe as well as introducing the best of breed security products – Security Scorecard, Deep Instinct and Idax Software – a trio of technical delights to support businesses who are making these changes in the working environment. In 2021, we can help you come to love remote working too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

uUnify would like to take this opportunity to wish you a wonderful festive break and we look forward to speaking with you in the New Year. Bring on 2021!!<\/p>\n\n\n
