Is your business ready to embrace the new way of working?

Hiring Remote Talent

As the teams started working remotely, many businesses used remote working as an opportunity to solve the scarcity of skilled talent in the technology domain, especially regarding fintech development services. Businesses leveraged remote working cultures to hire talent from different geographies or do staff augmentation by hiring consultants from different companies to supplement their workforce and get the skills that were not available in-house. Thus, these businesses adapted to the new remote work environment and were able to leverage it for their business.

Working from Home – Employees

For employees, remote working provided the flexibility to manage their work and be flexible with their working hours. Most employees hoped that flexible timings, working from home and less time spent commuting will result in more time for themselves and with families. But as people worked from their homes, the office working hours automatically extended.

Many employees found themselves working beyond office hours as the line between the office and home was virtually erased. It wasn’t as visible during lockdowns – lack of alternatives made it easier to spend more hours working.

Lack of Community and Teamwork

The stress levels increased as we spent long hours in front of computers, without face-to-face interaction or communication. As human beings, we are social and can’t live in isolation. While there are various platforms for video calling, the jury is still out to find if it can be as efficient as sitting together in brainstorming sessions.
