    Operating remotely allows essential functions to continue even with fewer on-site workers. Honeywell has enabled remote control of fire alarm systems and process control facilities. Remote work arrangements are becoming more common as they provide benefits like work-life balance, lower costs, and increased productivity and employee satisfaction compared to office-based work. Remote options also help businesses continue operations during situations like pandemics that require social distancing.

    Operating remotely

    What it is: We assisted the world's transition to remote operations, from industrial facilities to fire alarm
    systems. For instance, Fire personnel can control a building's fire panel using the cloud thanks to
    Honeywell's Connected Life Safety Systems. During this time, a crucial process control facility in Orange,
    Texas, was switched to remote operations by our Honeywell Process Solutions.

    Why it's innovative: Because of shutdowns, many facility maintenance teams are operating with smaller
    staffs and having less access to facilities. Less workers can be on-site but essential duties can still be
    completed using remote operations.

    Remote Work

    Remote work (also known as work from home [WFH] or telecommuting) is a


    type of flexible working arrangement that allows an employee to work from
    remote location outside of corporate offices. For employees who can complete
    work offsite, this arrangement can help ensure work-life balance, access to
    career opportunities or reduced commutation costs. Benefits for the company
    include increased employee satisfaction and retention, increased productivity
    and cost savings on physical resources. Remote work arrangements can be
    temporary or permanent, part-time or full-time, occasional or frequent. Remote
    work requires policies governing equipment use, network security and
    performance expectations.
     

    Working remotely has traditionally held a bad reputation,


    but more and more companies are adopting work-from-
    home policies. Check out the latest trends in remote work.
    In the past, remote employees have had a bad reputation. Many employers believed
    their workforce would be too easily distracted at home, where their managers couldn’t
    keep an eye on their direct reports.

    Remote work was very rare a decade ago. Working from home was usually only
    available as a special arrangement to accommodate families in specific cases.
    However, teleconferencing and telework technology has advanced to the point where
    some businesses thrive with completely remote teams. In fact, it’s not uncommon for
    businesses to allow their employees to work from home once or twice a week.

    Remote work can also help prevent the spread of illness, helping companies avoid lost
    productivity and protecting public health. For example, the outbreak of COVID-19
    prompted many employers to shift to a remote work model for all employees possible in
    a bid to limit the spread of the coronavirus.

    To determine the effectiveness of communication technology and working remotely,


    we’ll examine the history of working remotely, the current state of the workforce, and
    predictions for the future of remote employment.

    Is remote working effective?


    A decade ago, most employers would have balked at the idea of employees regularly
    working from home. One major concern most employers had for working remotely was
    a loss of productivity. How productive and efficient can an employee be when they’re
    not under constant supervision by co-workers and supervisors? 

    To better understand the effectiveness of remote work, Airtasker surveyed 1,004 full-


    time employees – 505 of whom were remote employees – throughout the U.S. about
    their work habits and productivity. The results indicate that remote workers are actually
    more productive than their office-based counterparts. The study found the following: 

     Remote employees work an additional 1.4 more days per month than in-office
    employees, which is nearly 17 additional workdays a year.
     Remote employees take longer breaks on average than office employees (22
    minutes versus 18 minutes, respectively), but they work an additional 10 minutes
    a day.
     Office workers are unproductive for an average of 37 minutes a day, not
    including lunch or breaks, whereas remote employees are unproductive for only
    27 minutes.
     15% of remote workers said their boss distracted them from work, which is less
    than the 22% of office-based employees who said the same thing.
