Working together so it really works at home!
by Michiel on Mar 2, 2024 11:40:06 AM
Now that we have to stay home as much as possible, we are also expected to work from home. We try to make the best of it, and sometimes we even see only benefits. In fact, recent reports show that millennials in particular find it annoying to have to work from home, probably because we value social contact more.
Online tips and tricks - Use of Plek
Over the past few weeks, we've seen a huge number of tips, blogs, articles and even videos about how to make working from home a success, some of which work better than others. The vast array often remains quite general, and some of the tips probably don't always relate to your current situation. Maybe your work doesn't allow you to access documents at all, you don't have room for that big desk chair from home, or there isn't a room where you can have undisturbed meetings. So how do you solve this? Most likely, your colleagues are also concerned about these issues and they do not have all the answers either.
The idea generator.
Together with colleagues who are experiencing the same problems, you can start brainstorming to find solutions on how to make working from home a success and stay engaged in the work, the organisation and each other.
With the use of an idea generator, for example. Turn the above problems into challenges. Ask all your colleagues to brainstorm with you. Some issues we have raised internally at Plek include:
- How do we ensure that team spirit remains intact now that we all work from home?
- How can we still turn our annual Easter brunch into a digital success?
- And how do we ensure that our monthly software development continues to run smoothly even in these times?
Great things came out of that! Like the search for Easter eggs via webcam, weekly spontaneous coffee moments to catch up on social matters and a number of new meetings to make sure everyone knows where and when we are working on what.
So, does it give you any ideas? We wish you the best of luck!
