When work and family exist in the same space, the boundary between family and work will become blurred in the minds of employees, and the conflict of roles will make employees bear greater pressure and it is difficult to take care of them. On the one hand, random events in the family environment will interfere with the attention of employees working at home; On the other hand, employees' personal life and privacy will inevitably be disturbed and violated to varying degrees, especially the new generation of employees have a strong sense of self. Supervising them by managers will inevitably lead to tension between the two sides.
02. Staff management costs have increased.
The most difficult problem of telecommuting is the remote management of employees. It is difficult for you to guarantee that telecommuting is as efficient as in the company. Especially for companies whose corporate culture is not yet mature and whose rules and regulations need to be improved, it is even more difficult to adapt. Without the supervision of leaders and colleagues, the virtual office environment may induce some employees with low quality to be more lazy and cheat.
03. The ability requirements for managers have been significantly improved.
In a special period, managers should not only learn advanced tools and skills to supervise employees in time, but also know how to combine various working methods, make clear the arrangement of time and tasks for different employees, control the progress, give efficient feedback, calm their emotions, and make timely judgments and handling of emergencies, so as to solve these problems. Whether the comprehensive quality of managers at all levels, especially middle managers, can keep up and how to develop is also an important issue that enterprises need to consider.
04. Employees' sense of participation and belonging is reduced.
At present, telecommuting has just started, and everyone is still at a stage where novelty is greater than strangeness. Being away from the office for a long time will lead to the isolation of employees from the office environment, and colleagues will not be able to meet and communicate frequently, which will reduce the opportunities for remote employees to obtain company information and participate in team activities, and their sense of belonging to the enterprise may be reduced. Especially when only some people in the organization work from home, they may forget to share information with remote employees, and over time, remote employees will lack a sense of participation.
