How technology is reshaping the remote workforce

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The Internet, such as it is, affected numerous aspects of modern day life, and the way we work falls into that category
As technology races to bring more innovation into offices around the world, the landscape slightly changes each time, making work easier and
more effective
passing trend: data shows a continual rise in the number of remote workers

Another report shows 70 percent of professionals work remotely at least one day a week, while 53 percent work remotely for at least half of
Digital is reshaping every industry, primarily by changing the traditional perceptions concerning locations and working hours, as well as
technologies out there
While not quite yet meeting the (often unreal) expectations, VR shows a lot of promise
Besides the numerous examples of it benefiting business operations such as simulating business strategies and understanding consumer
behavior and product consumption, in a more corporate sense, the immersive technology has the power to further expand the value of
complexity to internal machinations, one that technology successfully diminishes

Participants could have a wide array of information at their disposal, like relevant notes and action items being pulled up on the screen,
They could perform actions like drawing on a virtual whiteboard for a classic presentation feel while the software automatically schedules
programs are another example of more productive experiences than in-person meetings, where immersive and interactive simulations make sure
far from mainstream use, especially outside the enterprise levels
However, there is no shortage of new technologies that amplify out-of-office working, particularly working on the move
5G is one of those promising developments that should scale up the flexibility of working with a smartphone or laptop from any location
Its predecessor 4G has already done a decent job at this, but it leaves a lot to be desired
5G is the next generation of mobile technology that promises to increase data speeds and lower latencies on network response times, the two
higher throughput, lower latency, and greater mobility rival fixed broadband, all for the sake of better business communication
No more spotty network coverage, unstable and/or low-quality video conferencing, lack of bandwidth for downloading and responding, dropped
happen
In the meantime, there are already instances where technology affects remote working big time
One such is remote radiology or teleradiology, which allows for faster diagnostics and treatment
and prevents manpower shortage, especially during night shifts and holidays
The supply of qualified remote workers is taken care by workforce technology platforms that facilitate experts with diverse skills and needs
networks like Humans Net are a form of technology on their own, with subtle differences
These platforms are similar in that they connect workers with clients across various skill categories but they function differently
While the former two strictly offer services to certain target professions, the latter is a more inclusive platform that caters to all
skillsets
Together, they are the service enablers, means for people from one corner of the Earth to virtually work on another, with people they would
have otherwise never met
opportunity gap and bring the best of what it can offer to both sides
In business terms, along with tangible benefits, it created an expectation that a worker should have the freedom to work remotely, without
the constraints of an office desk or a time zone
And the truth is - people love working remotely, one of the factors that continue to spur the growth of remote work
As more specialized professionals demand more freedom in regard to their work schedules and locations, companies introduce remote working

employee retention, costs, diversity - all for the better
