In the past, working from home was an illusion, whether during holidays or at work. Working from home, like a holiday, is a non-mainstream way of working, which is difficult to be accepted by many enterprises.
However, starting from 2020, working from home is nothing new, but a new way of working. It can be seen that in the face of the epidemic, home office is a new choice, and the working mode and mode have also been adjusted.
Of course, home office may not be suitable for all industries and enterprises, such as logistics, express delivery, shopping malls and small shops, which still depend on on on-site office.
What is the biggest challenge of home office?
Is it trust?
Do employees go to work on time at home? Do they think about the work of the company every day?
If employees do non-work things while working at home, who will supervise and evaluate them?
If no one can be found at the meeting, whose responsibility is it?
Home office tests not only the administrative department and human resources department of the enterprise, but also the employees themselves.
At present, there are two main types of home office, one is home office with family members, and the other is home office where you live alone.
Accompanied by family members, most of them are locals or have their own houses in the local area, so families live together. In this case, working at home is equivalent to working with family;
Most people who live alone are outsiders who rent houses. They may have a room or a separate apartment or house. In this case, working from home is equivalent to changing a working environment for a person.
In fact, the main feature of home office is to change the working environment. Those who have family members have to face the "interference" of their families. Solitary people seem to be undisturbed, but their living environment is generally narrow and poor.
No matter what kind of home-based care for the elderly, it is essentially the beginning of employee self-management. Note that the key here is management, not work. In the company, employees focus on their own work and can basically avoid most interference factors, such as family, tenants, upstairs and downstairs. However, working at home has to face all kinds of distractions and free time.
Going to work is generally a regular system, from work to work; And working from home means there is no fixed time. Theoretically, all time can be working time.
So many people are too tired after working at home.
But think about it, what is home office? This is an opportunity for self-management. We either manage people or manage people in the company. Seldom really manage themselves.
Working from home enlarges the scenes and opportunities for self-management, managing what, energy, time and tasks.
Energy is to arrange work and rest reasonably, and to maintain rest and physical and mental pleasure. Many people may feel uneasy when working at home, because the environment is much worse than that of the company, and they will be angry or depressed after a long time; And we should learn to adjust ourselves, not to adapt the environment to us, but to adapt ourselves to the environment.
Time is also the refinement of energy management, how to arrange rest time, exercise time, working time and spare time.
In fact, working from home saves a time, that is, commuting time. Under normal circumstances, everyone's commuting time is 1-2 hours, which may exceed 3 hours.
Then working at home is equivalent to giving yourself 2-3 hours more time every day, which is equivalent to having more free time.
Managing time is to have a standardized sense of time management. There should be a timetable every day, which can indicate the time of going to and from work, such as going to work at 9: 00. I usually sit at 8: 40 and turn on the computer to prepare for the day's work. At noon, the rest time of benchmarking enterprises will be marked, 12 rest; In the afternoon, I will try my best to finish the day's work on time after work. This is also a way to keep the biological clock and schedule.
Because we work at home, the most easily overlooked thing is exercise. Originally, there was a walk to and from work. Nowadays, many people stay at home, and many people start to lie in bed or sit in chairs, doing nothing. It is harmful to their health in the long run. Therefore, it is still necessary to do some exercise properly and simply do indoor activities.
Finally, human task management. Compared with corporate office and home office, it is more important to concentrate and not be disturbed by other information around. Self-control is very important. It is necessary to define the daily task objectives and focus on the tasks.
Actually, working at home is a bit like studying at night at school. Going to work normally is like a teacher giving lectures during the day. When the teacher is in the classroom, everyone will generally cheer up and concentrate on their studies. But in the self-study class, the learning content itself has not changed. However, due to the lack of supervisors, some students are studying, while others may desert. Therefore, managing yourself well means maintaining strict discipline and requirements without supervision. This time is also a time to test a person's determination and discipline.
The biggest advantage of working from home is to lengthen our time, save commuting time and test our self-discipline and management ability. The focus of management is on oneself, not the surrounding environment. Whether you can be quiet, whether you can concentrate, whether you can create a good working atmosphere, and whether you can manage your time well are the basic management ability requirements of a person. When working at home, you should pay attention to your physical and mental health and take the initiative to do psychological adjustment and exercise. Maintain an optimistic attitude, maintain a positive work attitude, and make good arrangements and summaries of tasks every day. Maybe you can have a chance to improve your ability during home office hours.
