As our approach to work has changed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, our approach to workplace modernization has changed as well. Simply getting people devices and apps is no longer enough – the objective today is to give people an entire infrastructure of productivity tools.
This was simpler during the pre-pandemic days. Most companies had everyone working together out of one central office location. So you simply made sure that location had solid IT in place, and you called it good. Things are different now, though. With so many people working remotely, all in so many different locations, you’ve got a whole new set of problems to deal with.
Business Insider recently zoomed in on this problem, looking at all the most difficult aspects of working remotely. Some of the challenges were predictable – people who work from home lack a structured social routine without co-workers around, and they don’t always have the easiest time communicating with others or building rapport. These roadblocks are to be expected. But interestingly, many remote employees all highlighted another problem too – they’re challenged to maintain stability with IT.
Workers reported that when they have problems with IT, those problems might not be resolved as quickly as they otherwise would be in the office, and this can lead to trouble maintaining productivity. Kate Crowhurst, director of Money Bites, said that even minor technical difficulties can have a way of spiraling out of control.
“While the flexibility of remote work can be excellent, the challenge comes when your Wi-Fi drops out or your computer doesn’t play ball,” Crowhurst said. “And then the IT guy on the phone is more concerned with logging a job than getting you back online so you can do your job.”
Problems like this are common. When your workers are remote, making sure they have all the IT they need can be daunting.
