The good and bad things of teleworking and flexible working

    

By Raúl Gorrín.-  We have talked on several occasions of telecommuting and flexible working hours as an important work incentive to increase the productivity of employees in different organizations. Also, we want to talk about its disadvantages and the aspects that for some people are negative in these working modalities.

     The flexible working is very appreciated by workers, according some studies. Some people see with sympathy working from home released from a strict schedule and for other group of workers, teleworking and flexible working it is demotivating. For companies, the lack of governing legislation is an inconvenience to decide to impose the modality in their organizations.

     However, according to the type of responsibilities or the company’s responsibilities, teleworking and flexible working can be problematic. For them, the physical presence of their workers is still essential. But this is not the only thing, the need for feedback; contact with other colleagues is also a necessity for a few who, for these reasons, refuse to teleworking. Apparently, the tools that technology makes available (chats and teleconferencing mechanisms), seems to have a lot of weight for some workers.

     It is problem because people have to choose on their need for contact and the possibility of a flexible schedule. In any case, for small and micro enterprises are good for the savings they represent in their costs.

     For employees, this work system (saving time and money for travel), it is an attractive idea. In addition, it is an excellent opportunity for them to reconcile professional with family life. In contrast, telecommuniting and flexible working is a great opportunity for pregnant women and lactating mothers.

     It will be necessary to continue observing the development of these events, but everything continues pointing that, it will continue grow and with many more supporters.
