Impact of Remote Work on Company Culture

Remote work has created a fundamental shift in business culture, and the Ooma team created a graphic demonstrating that a company’s age can indicate how likely a business is to adapt to remote work. Their analysis revealed that 35% of workers had remote jobs in 2023 compared to 23% in 2019. It’s obvious that the COVID-19 pandemic caused this shift. Looking at the team’s numbers, newer companies seem more likely to embrace remote work. Almost 44% of businesses under two years old support work-from-home options, suggesting they could design their work models on remote possibilities.

Best employee perks offered by different companies

The main goal for employees is to satisfy their customers as per their expectations. Employees work with extreme dedication in order to earn a living and, in return, are rewarded by the firm in the form of perks. It is very important for every company that their employees are comfortable and satisfied with the responsibilities they are assigned.

Providing perks to the employees can help the firm in developing a loyal and happy workforce. Larger firms provide their employees with medical, financial, and educational perks; however, very few small companies benefit their team with perks. It is not necessary to go out of the box when you are running a small business but rewarding your employees with little perks would be as motivating as the bigger ones.

Parental Leave Trends from Around the World

The issue and struggle of work-life balance are very real. As our lifestyle becomes more busy day by day, it is no wonder that there is barely any time for ourselves and our families. There are many employee provisions that vary from country to country, to ensure a healthy work-life balance. Finland, for instance, is known for its healthy work and education hours. One such provision that matters a lot is regarding parental leave.

Parental leave encompasses a few reasons, all of them related either to the adoption or birth of a child. It is regardless of the gender, its granting availability for both the mother and the father. It may include maternity leaves, adoption leaves, paternity leaves, and so on. Another variation of the paternal leave is that of the family leave. This is not the case for every nation. But if the family leave option is there, it can grant you leave to take care of a family member who may be sick.

How Workplace Diversity in the U.S. Can Be Improved

 The age of globalisation is what we are living in currently. It is a bit strange to imagine a place that is not diverse in this era of globalisation, but it's true. Despite all the exchanges happening on a global scale, there are chances some people are left out and while we might think of them as a 'few', they amount to a pretty big number.

 Mostly it's the minorities who are usually under pressure due to the struggles they face during employment and moreover, actually sticking to the job they are able to get their hands on. Many organisations and companies can be biased about who they employ and even go as far as to consider a person's race while deciding their pay.

 Other factors can include policies related to gender. For instance, unpaid maternity leaves for females, or not providing a leave in the first place. In some extreme cases, female employees can even be paid lesser than their male counterparts for doing legitimately the same job. It isn't always the employer's fault though.

Caring for Sick Employees

During COVID-19, many employees have been asked to work from home but unfortunately, that has not been the case with everyone. Not all employees have the benefits to work from home, in fact the business nature of some workers requires them to come to office. Under such circumstances, having a healthy workplace and friendly environment will make your employees appreciate your caring attitude towards them. 

Concerning this, there are a few guidelines that should be followed at all times and not just during a global pandemic. However right now, since the coronavirus is influencing all our decisions, employers must be prepared if any of their employees falls sick with COVID-19. The immediate effect on the organisation will be the COVID-19 testing for all employees and staff working in-house for the organisation.
