Virtual Work

A leading telecommunications company, sought out experimental work from home. The reason is that corporate leaders in the office was already widely used intranet connection, while a lot of convenience to be had if we could civilize 'work from home' is. Like many people who say: "We've been able to leave work with a suit or dress uniforms, and vice versa, can work productively with the T-shirts, pajamas and even a negligee." Ease of laptops, Ipad, the power of 'broadband' and the progress of the software to work , makes us only too well feel that coming to the office can be alternative by working at home. "After all, the office typing typing too". We see that kind of work that do not require intensive face to face has a chance to be done in a flexible and virtual, is not it? However, what is important to consider the impact of the implementation of this virtual work?

Conversely, a company that seems to be very global, always leading in product selection and purchase of work equipment in the office, was not able to get out of the workings of the "traditional", ie strict attendance, 'nametag' should be installed and the 'dresscode' in accordance with the regulations. The pace of work and the spirit to excel at work so when the clock started, until ending in the afternoon. We are so much easier to monitor the movement, could be stronger in the face to face communication when there is a problem. However, until when we can ignore the needs of parents to be more attention to children's education? What about the needs of its customer service and sales ranks to reach out to customers without going back out and self-disciplined menceklok time machine? Can we ensure the happiness and engagement of individuals when personal needs, physical and emotional, difficult to be fulfilled?

Control Effectiveness of performance

In a company that has long been the flexibility of this job, the employee did in fact feel more 'happy' because they can do many things while working at home. An employee said that he could deliver and pick up the kids could be working intensively on the sidelines this time. Another individual told about 'quality time' together with that obtained from the babies, in addition to energy savings of fuel, energy and emotion modar forth when facing traffic congestion. We see that there is a "win-win" solution, both for companies and employees with the implementation of virtual work.

A company executive who dared to come out of this trap work force, said that the most important is the power of performance measurement as measured from each employee. "To remove the uniformity and discipline of work, we need to have the power of performance measurement is not only the end result-oriented, but also ensure the passage of 'coaching', system development, the declaration of priority and time management. Changes in labor force could be made 'step by step' by applying the alternative performance measures beyond the discipline and physical kehadiaran. New day, after each employee used to measure the performance of this new style, the company can progress into a more virtual work style.

Danger of alienation

One of the biggest enemies of working 'on line' is communication. We can communicate by means of 'conference', using the group, audiovisual, but we recognize that the 'feel' of togetherness must be reduced. Relationship on line, it only transfers the things that 'kering'saja, such as data, information, reports, despite being peppered with' emoticons' versatility and color. Someone who never had a friend working atmosphere "on line" while stationed in another country, say every day that he faced was back from work. When turning on the computer, it will immediately begin to communicate through messenger systems across the globe with his other friends. He believes that to her friend who also did the same thing. It's a sign that demand is actually very strong communication and need to be accommodated, so always keep the communication system to be built and evaluated.

Although large companies like Apple and Cisco had already implemented training 'salesmanship' in full on line with the imagination of the participants to strive for true real training such as training room made gate when entering a new training site, presenting the records as if we were in the room auditorium , listen to the experts do the 'webinar', and even provided the 'chat room' for the participants as a venue for 'networking', but almost all experts say "You can not replace face to face Situations". We can not transfer the motivation, inspiration seratur percent. We still have to think about the danger of alienation when a person has begun to leave the office atmosphere.

The Quality of Face to Face Meet Ups

All the gadgets lately, make us get stuck into 'victims' of technology. We can lose the 'depth' way of thinking, the power of focus and concentrate on what we are elaborated. New to concentrate, no messages appear in our messenger system, not to mention when a group member sends a message along with a call for audiovisual communication with others. "Cognitive load" that bombard our memory reservoir that has limits, often causing us to often forgotten and not responsive to emerging problems. Humans are the most advanced creatures in this world. Humans would be great because the capacity of reflection, creative, empathetic, berhatinurani, and could even reach the 'meta-qualities' that can not reach any machine. The only attitude that we must maintain, in the midst of the needs of virtual work, is a way that respects the quality and turn our face to face, where the deep "sense of 'stay awake, while we take sebanya benefit the most from life' on line '.
