Remote work - The Present and the Future

We invited the authors of the book Teleworking, António Pacheco and Fernando Moreira, to reflect with us on the future of remote work in Portugal.

In a talk in interview format, we focused on the main challenges of remote work in the context of the current pandemic, but also what will be necessary for remote work in Portugal to become a reality in the short term.

Comunicação // Dar e receber feedback

One of the challenges of remote work. How to communicate with the team and give feedback remotely?

Work-life balance // a linha que separa

What is the line that separates work from personal life when we are working remotely?

It is undoubtedly important to distinguish the difference between teleworking and the confined work that was imposed by the pandemic and which is responsible for the feeling of lack of freedom and interaction with colleagues, but which does not reflect the reality of teleworking in its purest essence.

A hybrid teleworking model does not entail many of the challenges experienced today in teleworking, such as the line that separates the personal and professional spheres or the challenge of remote onboarding. We are living through unique times that have forced companies to impose teleworking but without necessarily preparing for it.

We believe that this new way of working is here to stay, in other forms not held hostage by the pandemic scenario, but for this to be a future reality there will have to be a willingness and agility on the part of companies to strive to design a new work model and also an adaptation of people and teams to this reality.
