Benefits of Working from Home by ·¬ارض±²¥'s Brian Kappele, President & COO.
·¬ارض±²¥, an architecture, engineering, construction, and mechanical services firm, has made a significant shift to a permanent work-from-home model for the majority of its employees. The decision was driven by the need to adapt to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and provide stability and safety for its workforce. By leveraging technology platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), ·¬ارض±²¥ has been able to maintain efficient operations and connectivity among team members. The work-from-home model has brought unexpected benefits, including increased efficiency in virtual meetings and the ability to hire talent from anywhere without requiring relocation. ·¬ارض±²¥ emphasizes the importance of flexibility, communication, and accountability in successfully managing remote teams. While the future remains uncertain due to the pandemic, the work-from-home model is seen as a positive change that could persist even after the crisis ends, provided companies prioritize employee well-being, trust, and the necessary tools for success.
