Work from Home or Work from Where?
Let’s take a look at Flexible Workforce Management - Future of Work
Flexible Workforce isn’t a novel word. Corporations started working on “hot desk” models since pre-pandemic, driven in part by increasing real estate costs. As we all know, Covid-19 pushed these discussions front and center. While most employees seemed satisfied with a telecommuting environment, experience from this past year tells us the case for a return to the usual workplace can also be made due to digital fatigue, mental health and social isolation. The point is, for many organizations, telecommuting is here for good, with the IT infrastructure already well deployed it is likely that a hybrid work environment is the new normal. In this reality, while a hybrid model promotes efficiency, engagement and attraction of talent, organizations must look at it through the lens of legal, income tax, data protection and other regulatory factors.
With hopes of the pandemic subsiding, we will be driven to choose whether to maintain, or adapt these policies. In today’s talk we will investigate these issues with TMF South-East Asia country leaders, who will share with us their perspectives and tips on how to better plan for the future of work.
