It was necessary for so many businesses and people naturally loved it. As such many businesses are delaying and or entirely scrapping any plans to return to the workplace. However, research is starting to show that 100% remote work employees is just not sustainable in the long-term.<\/p>\n<p>What you might gain in productivity you lose in collaboration. Sure, some employees and certain positions were lone-wolves long before COVID. But to simply send everyone home with laptops can have some negative effects regardless of good the Teams call just went.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<style><\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"wd-6718af185007a\" class=\" wd-rs-6718af185007a wd-info-box wd-wpb text-left box-icon-align-top box-style- color-scheme- wd-bg-none border-btm-title \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"info-box-title title wd-font-weight-800 box-title-style-default font-primary wd-fontsize-m\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Downsides_to_Working_Remotely\"><\/span>Downsides to Working Remotely<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-inner reset-last-child\"><p>The human species is a herding animal. We like friends, adult conversations and a sense of belonging. Take a look as Maslow\u2019s Hierarchy of Needs\u2026 after food, water, shelter, rest and basic safety, humans need intimacy. While you can support relationships with a phone call, a text or a screenshare, true intimacy comes from physical interaction which is hard to come by working from home.<\/p>\n<p>Just think of your crazy cousin Eddie. You have a relationship with him because you have met him\u2026 at the family BBQ, at equally nutty Suzie\u2019s wedding and at grandma\u2019s funeral. Talking to Eddie on the phone supports the relationship but it cannot operate in a vacuum. The familial connection is one thing, but physical interaction is what drives the relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Now\u2026 think of a customer or a client that you\u2019ve never met face to face\u2026 how solid is that relationship? Perhaps it is rock solid\u2026 but rock solid based on the limitations of a remote relationship. Can we dispense of the virtual happy hour stuff too\u2026 while fun the first two or three times, that quickly showed the entire margs after work crowd how important physical get-togethers truly are.<\/p>\n<p>People have found their best friend at work. People have found a spouse at work. And yes, people have had their affairs at work. Team building and that sense of membership cannot be overlooked.<\/p>\n<p>What about the alter ego effect? Several people unfortunately do not feel fulfilled at home. They might have a slight alter ego at the office where they are perceived as funny\u2026 or as intelligent\u2026 or as an expert in a field. You don\u2019t necessarily get the full effect with a remote relationship.<\/p>\n<p>More along these lines is the breakdown between work and life balance. Generally, the work-life balance argument is silly. It is akin to trying to convince someone that chocolate is better than vanilla. It is a personal preference. Some people only want to work 40 hours a week. Others want to work until the work is done. Both examples are perfectly fine\u2026 everyone has a different fuel\u2026 a different reason to get out of bed and a different threshold to kick it and say, \u201cI feel accomplished\u2026 now where\u2019s my beer?!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another consideration is career visibility. People who are physically visible to the decision-makers are promoted more often and perhaps more swiftly. Fair? Perhaps not, but so is life. Is there data to support this\u2026 probably not completely yet. But it just makes sense. You\u2019re a leader\u2026 you have a seat at the table that needs filled\u2026 who are you going to pick? A webcam version of your rockstar employee, or the cheery always smiling employee with real or perceived capabilities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<style><\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"wd-685975283460d\" class=\" wd-rs-685975283460d wd-info-box wd-wpb text-left box-icon-align-top box-style- color-scheme- wd-bg-none border-btm-title \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"info-box-title title wd-font-weight-800 box-title-style-default font-primary wd-fontsize-m\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Upsides_to_Working_Remotely\"><\/span>Upsides to Working Remotely<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-inner reset-last-child\"><p>Productivity is the largest. Research supports this up and down. Why does someone have 30 drive-by\u2019s at the office from various people with various questions that seemingly need immediate attention\u2026 and that same person gets 5 phone calls when working from home? Ah! Go back to the need for intimacy around the office argument above. Makes sense, right? Manufacturing a reason to see the boss in-person is way better than the phone call\u2026 and it is harder for your boss to blow you off, right?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23677\" src=\"https:\/\/wcginc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/remote-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>So\u2026 fewer interruptions\u2026 quiet time\u2026 perhaps some white noise or a favorite TV show\u2026 and you have a recipe for being productive.<\/p>\n<p>Flexibility is another benefit. People should not be judged by butts in seats\u2026 they should be judged by productivity or output, right? Sure, that doesn\u2019t work for every position. Take an administrative assistant for example. How do you judge productivity? Well, you probably can\u2019t judge when he or she is at the office either so why should it matter?<\/p>\n<p>Back to flexibility\u2026 if you get your job done\u2026 if no one is complaining about your work quality or quantity, then no one should care about the hours you keep. If you can get twice the work done in half the time, shouldn\u2019t you be able to knock off early? Yes, you should.<\/p>\n<p>How do you fix a toxic locker room in sports? Winning! How do you fix the perception of not working? Producing. Said in another way, if you are a tax accountant then the best deodorant for bad work behavior is getting tax returns out the door.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<style><\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"wd-6718afa8905ad\" class=\" wd-rs-6718afa8905ad wd-info-box wd-wpb text-left box-icon-align-top box-style- color-scheme- wd-bg-none border-btm-title \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"info-box-title title wd-font-weight-800 box-title-style-default font-primary wd-fontsize-m\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Employer_Considerations\"><\/span>Employer Considerations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-inner reset-last-child\"><p>Employees generally found themselves saying \u201cwhat\u2019s the big deal if I just drag my computer home?\u201d There are several big deals actually\u2026 some of it is easily mitigated but others needed exploration by employers across the country.<\/p>\n<p>What about client and workpaper confidentiality?

We had employees working remotely from time to time and we had technology to support our operations. We did this from the beginning in 2007 since one of our first employees was on the road a lot as a pilot, and WCG\u2019s clients were scattered all over the world. From Day 1, we had to perfect the long-distance relationship to survive.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s be honest for a bit however. WCG limited remote work to one day a week\u2026 and perhaps two if you caught us at a weak moment. It was generally frowned up to do more than one day per week unless there was a compelling reason. Were we old school? Perhaps a little. Were we afraid of losing our identity and our team camaraderie? Yes, of course. All those things!<\/p>\n<p>But COVID caused us to back up the truck so-to-speak, and re-evaluate the remote work arrangement.<\/p>\n<p>At present day, WCG embraces the hybrid remote work model. 2-3 days at home (or wherever you can find some internet) and 2-3 days at the office. And\u2026 our employees are also encouraged to split the day up. At times just a change of scenery is all you need.

So, if you want to work from home, don\u2019t you want to have a near replica of your office environment? The answer is Yes, of course you do!<\/p>\n<p>At WCG, employees are required to have at least two screens (latop + external monitor = 2 screens). But most of our amazing staff replicate their work setup at home\u2026 from three monitors, to a networked desk phone and headset, and down to the stand up desk that we all use at the office (and not some nasty Veridesk\u2026 this is a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.apexdesk.com\/collections\/standing-desks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">real 6 foot desk from Apex).<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And, we help with equipment purchases by selling new gear at cost and financing it over 10 pay checks at 0% interest. We also are cycling away from 24\u2033 monitors in favor of 27\u2033 monitors, and we give those used ones away for free. We are also cycling away from desktops in favor of laptops, so we have a bunch of \u201cgood enough computers\u201d that we also give away for free. Desk phones, headsets and cables are provided by us.<\/p>\n<p>Having the right gear is critical to the remote work experience, productivity and ultimately satisfaction!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<style><\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"wd-6718b09443ae5\" class=\" wd-rs-6718b09443ae5 wd-info-box wd-wpb text-left box-icon-align-top box-style- color-scheme- wd-bg-none border-btm-title \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"info-box-title title wd-font-weight-800 box-title-style-default font-primary wd-fontsize-m\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rules_of_the_Road\"><\/span>Rules of the Road<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-inner reset-last-child\"><p>Of course there needs to be guidelines and boundaries to the remote work arrangement (RWA).

As mentioned with regards to Core Hours, consistency allows other employees to rely on other employees. In addition, the employee will certify that-<\/p>\n<p>1. The request for RWA was initiated by the employee and not a requirement of employment with WCG.<\/p>\n<p>2. The computer used to access WCG applications and data will not be used by any other person except the employee and those authorized by WCG.<\/p>\n<p>3. Anti-virus software will be maintained and active on the computer used to access WCG applications and data.<\/p>\n<p>4. At least two screens will be used when performing job duties for WCG.<\/p>\n<p>5. Adequate internet connectivity will be available when performing job duties for WCG.<\/p>\n<p>6. Only the Allworx desktop phone or the Allworx cell phone application will be used to make or receive phone calls to and from clients.<\/p>\n<p>7. A dedicated space shall be used including one that provides for privacy when speaking with or performing videoconferencing with clients and other WCG employees.<\/p>\n<p>8. Client confidentiality and the safety of WCG data will be maintained at the remote work location.<\/p>\n<p>9. Should a breach of client confidentiality or WCG data safety occur, the above employee will notify his or her management immediately.<\/p>\n<p>10. Clients or prospective clients will not enter the remote work location without prior separate approval from WCG.<\/p>\n<p>11. A dependent care plan including a backup plan which together provides a distraction-free work environment will be maintained except for emergency situations (school closures, sick dependents, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>12. Productivity and quality of work product will remain at current levels or improve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<style><\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; el_class=&#8221;boxes&#8211;pack&#8221; woodmart_css_id=&#8221;672d69041513d&#8221; responsive_spacing=&#8221;eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfcmVzcG9uc2l2ZV9zcGFjaW5nIiwic2VsZWN0b3JfaWQiOiI2NzJkNjkwNDE1MTNkIiwic2hvcnRjb2RlIjoidmNfcm93X2lubmVyIiwiZGF0YSI6eyJ0YWJsZXQiOnt9LCJtb2JpbGUiOnt9fX0=&#8221; mobile_bg_img_hidden=&#8221;no&#8221; tablet_bg_img_hidden=&#8221;no&#8221; woodmart_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; woodmart_gradient_switch=&#8221;no&#8221; woodmart_box_shadow=&#8221;no&#8221; wd_z_index=&#8221;no&#8221; woodmart_disable_overflow=&#8221;0&#8243; row_reverse_mobile=&#8221;0&#8243; row_reverse_tablet=&#8221;0&#8243;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"wd-6859755322c57\" class=\" wd-rs-6859755322c57 wd-info-box wd-wpb text-left box-icon-align-top box-style- color-scheme- wd-bg-none srvc-txt-block \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-icon-wrapper  box-with-icon box-icon-simple\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-icon\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"622\" height=\"622\" src=\"https:\/\/wcginc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Online-Accountant-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wcginc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Online-Accountant-1.jpg 622w, https:\/\/wcginc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Online-Accountant-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wcginc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Online-Accountant-1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"info-box-title title wd-font-weight-600 box-title-style-default font-primary wd-fontsize-m\">Online Tax Accountant<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-inner reset-last-child\"><p>Experience hassle-free tax services and secure document uploads all from home!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"wd-info-box-link wd-fill\" aria-label=\"Infobox link\" href=\"\/blog\/online-tax-accountant\/\" title=\"\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<style><\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"wd-685975c29a542\" class=\" wd-rs-685975c29a542 wd-info-box wd-wpb text-left box-icon-align-top box-style- color-scheme- wd-bg-none srvc-txt-block \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-icon-wrapper  box-with-icon box-icon-simple\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-icon\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"622\" height=\"622\" src=\"https:\/\/wcginc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/wcg-blog.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wcginc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/wcg-blog.jpg 622w, https:\/\/wcginc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/wcg-blog-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wcginc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/wcg-blog-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"info-box-title title wd-font-weight-600 box-title-style-default font-primary wd-fontsize-m\">WCG Careers Page<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-inner reset-last-child\"><p>Learn about our comprehensive training process.
