Remote Work Model as HRM Trend: Pros and Cons
Current situation in the world is referring
more to the remote working applications and it is recorded that the remote
working models are highly used in the work places as the HRM trends (Flores, 2019). Human mobility
limitations due to COVID 19 pandemic is the main factor and the reason for
these applications. Remote working is the employees are hired by the companies
and working in the remote or out of the traditional environments (Al-Rfou, 2021).
It is very important to identify the remote
working applications in the working places to have the clear idea on the
possible models and applications respective to each working place (Franken et al., 2021).
Remote working is also called as WFH (Work
from Home) or telecomputing which gives flexible working environments!!!
There are different remote working models
in HRM which can be recorded as important as per the work.
Each of the model can be applied in the
different applications and situations as per the needs and wants of the
organization. Application of the Smart Phones, Computers, email accounts, fax
machines and printer are some of the needed factors in the remote working conditions
(Stone et al., 2018).
There are benefits and the disadvantages of the remote working models which need the understanding (Rottmann, 2021).
Along with these applications, there are
many advantages and the disadvantages of the remote working and the clear
applications in the relevant organizations is a timely need (Al-Rfou, 2021). As there are no geographical bound for
the employees, higher interest can be seen among the employees to work in
remote working models. Still, in order to reduce the distractions and the
disadvantages, the best method can be the hybrid method as it is causing
successful returns (Stone et al., 2018; Rottmann 2021).
