    Impact and organisation of distant working

    The use of the existing offices and meeting rooms looks completely different from before Corona. For many more functions/profiles within a company, it is now also possible to work from home, for example.

    This obviously also has an impact on our workplace and how we organise ourselves. How do you deal with this as an organisation? What steps should you take to be able to organise yourself to the max?

    Working at and with distance

    Now that prejudices and the taboo surrounding working from home have been dropped, companies need to be aware that employees also have new expectations. According to a survey conducted by BDO and HR Square among 1,000 employees, 44% feel that working from home two days a week is ideal, and 40% are already satisfied with just one day.

    Grab the momentum

    Together with you, Freestone can look at what is already feasible to implement within your current concept, so that you can get back to work safely at the office in times of social distancing.

    But when you look at the medium or long term, it's clear that there is a specific approach needed there as well, to keep working (together) in a safe, dynamic and optimal way.

    The covid-19 situation may be the right momentum for your company to take a closer look at certain established issues.
    For many measures that have been inserted head-on, it is advisable to look at how they need to be adjusted in order to guarantee optimal operation (in the short and long term) for your organisation and employees.
