Businesses sometimes need to adapt by
working remotely and linking them to the technologies necessary for good performance.
What is the goal that is manifested through remote work, and what are the
guarantees and indicators of its success?
The main goal that organizations aspire to
in light of the need to work remotely is to maintain our basic needs during
this period as they were before and to continue our successes. We live in the
market of "artificial intelligence", and everyone has to measure their
literacy by how much they know the language of artificial intelligence that is
developing every minute! They must also preserve what they have mastered, as we
do not know where the global technological levels are taking us, and to what
extent the concept of literacy can change in the foreseeable future!
“The number of people working from home has
certainly gone up around the world these days. Alphabet, the parent company of
Google, has recommended that all of its employees in North America, Europe,
Africa, and the Middle East work from home until April 10. In April, Amazon
notified all of its employees globally who are able to work from home to do so
until the end of March. Other tech companies, including Twitter, Microsoft, and
Apple, have asked their employees to work from their homes, as well as dozens
of other small companies.
It is a temporary measure, of course,
depending on the expiration of the Coronavirus. But can it become sustainable
after these companies realize the tremendous advantages of moving employees
from offices and students from schools and universities in crowded cities to
the digital world in the peace of their homes, saving time and money, stopping
corruption, and stopping all citizens from driving to government offices and standing
in lines to finish their business? Yes, it is possible, by spreading the
"Internet of Things" in all government sites, schools, and companies.
Here, a major question arises: Is it
necessary to do this with the intervention of the human element? What about
school exams that require scrutiny to ensure the integrity of the test and to verify
its validity? Or direct corporate meetings to determine key decisions? Or a
myriad of related requirements? Therein comes "Spatial".
This software company is developing a
system whereby meetings are held through holograms that provide 3D images. Whether
the meeting is in a specific city or between several cities around the world,
3D holograms will show participants in the same room so they can interact
through an AR headset, providing full participation during video conferencing
and allowing members to see things in a more lifelike way from multiple angles.
Several companies are currently competing to develop this system, including
Google Classroom, which helps teachers set up and manage their courses.
And at the same time, the Corona may show
us the difficulty of remote work when it comes to backward and digitally
incompetent countries, especially the segments of poor societies that do not
even have a computer, let alone an Internet connection. Some of them are
currently using national television to provide remote teaching sessions. But
work is underway around the world to advance digital methods. Digital
governments can only work with digitally-oriented citizens who are truly
qualified to work remotely.”
When this work is completed globally, the
role of remote business programming will come in to break through the traditional
in regards to timing, selection, and prioritization. This task will be the most
difficult and most burdensome and would not have been necessary had it not been
for the prioritization of and the need for remote work procedures. Our
orientations are varied in light of this work, as they can be narrowed down to
two directions: the need for (communication) and the need for (services). The
first is available with what we have of artificial intelligence devices, such
as laptops and smart panels, and the second is to ensure the continuity of life
in terms of food, medicine, and security. The two are inseparable!
“The negative aspect of remote digital work
is that screens distance people from each other. This is the difference between
face-to-face and online interaction. People will always yearn to share a moment
in time and space with someone. Are our 'old brains' getting used to this new solo
reality? In the long run, remote workers prefer not to be at home alone all day
even though they feel comfortable spending business in their comfy clothes. However,
this can be compensated for by enjoying relaxing evenings with good friends at
a nearby café. The routine of remote work is offset by a good weekend at the
resorts with the fuel and other amenities they avoided using during the week,
away from computers, and close to nature.”
Our success in remote work is manifested in
a set of indicators: love of work, adaptability skills, and the ability to
distinguish, select, arrange, and organize within the business pyramid.
Whereby, ready-made technical programs, prepared according to practical needs,
are appointed by forming groups (of co-workers) who are knowledgeable and
understand the ability to link the written with the readable, distinguish the
translatable in reality with what is supposed to be imagined, and monitor what
is expected to be accomplished, and other hourly work tasks.
Although remote work is not linked to an
automated time that measures specific working hours, nor to a place that
surrounds workers, their tools, and needs, training on creating a follow-up group
for remote workers will ensure the continuity of achievement, and overcoming
the obstacles of lack of face-to-face communication and of accurate follow-up
of working times within the vicinity of the place or outside it. Through this
success of remote work, we can overcome most obstacles and achieve guarantees
that would not have been achieved without it. Rather, by practicing remote
work, we will discover an ideal method and model capable of ensuring the
continuity of success, and we will overcome the neglect that has long been
practiced in the past, to work according to this model, which may be the future
approach to managing business in the coming years.
Remote work is silent work that often does
not require allocating morning or evening hours, but it is systematic and
organized work, especially when working for an institution that calls for
assessment, planning, and programming meetings. It also ensures capacity
building and contributes to creating a generation that has what qualifies it to
support itself and its family; with their skills and knowledge.
This is the rescue boat towards the future of
this century, and it will not wait for us to prepare our luggage and tools or
to present our unprepared arguments; all of that will be for nothing! And no
one would believe us if we said we were unaware of its arrival, because it is
blowing its trumpets now alerting us of its arrival, and soon will be spreading
its sails and setting out to sea.
Remote work is no longer a preventive or
exceptional system, but is essential and realistic, and whoever does not accept
it now will be left behind, and will not top the list no matter how hard they
try.
