Home and hybrid working

Home and hybrid working

Many tech companies have embraced home and hybrid work, such as Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Spotify etc. Something similar is happening in the financial sector.

Trade unions are working on templates for home working agreements to minimise the risk of isolation and health and safety risks from working in an unsuitable environment. The least focus is on the inequality, what work involves, and how companies try to offload responsibility on individuals.

Work from home drawbacks

  • Studies show that only a minority are able to work from home.
  • WFH may take away human interaction from some people.
  • Not being in an office may cut one from the collective workplace experiences.
  • Gender roles. American research showed that 79% of men experienced "positive work effectiveness" compared with 37% of women.
  • WFH also increase the average working day by 8.2%,
  • Computer surveillance.

However, the real problem is that employers have built a model of home working on workplace cultures.

Improving people's lives

Instead of being fixated on home working, we should begin with flexibility, where people start and finish at times of their choosing, set free time and ensure that they make space for holidays.

Companies should pair new recruits with dedicated mentors. Employees should have collective representation and the right to disconnect.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.
