Respond to at least two of your peers by discussing the following: How do the challenges they shared reflect what you learned in this module

Respond to at least two of your peers by discussing the following:

  • How do the challenges they shared reflect what you learned in this module about the challenges organizations might face when considering moving toward a hybrid workforce?
  • How could employers adapt to overcome challenges and meet employees' expectations in the future, such as those shared by your peers?
  • below is peers discussion please help me respond

I can think of a few challenges that I would have to find solutions for. One would be working hours. For instance what set time frame would I have for working hours. With several employees working from home their "hours" may differ from mine. In turn this may leave employees communicating with me, regarding work, outside of my own working hours. I would also need to create a work space. This would need to be somewhere that I have space to work at and possibly consider "my office". It would need to house my laptop, printer, files, etc. I would also need space away from distractions. At home there are more distractions and interruptions, such at the tv, phones, pets, kids, etc. I have dogs and they are distracting by needing to go outside or just by wanting attention.

A hybrid workforce would be great. I would like to still get a sense of work community and socialization in office, while also being able to work in the comfort of my own home, on my own schedule. A hybrid position would make it easier to schedule appointments, trips, and leave room for flexibility. For instance, if I am going on a trip, instead of having to call off work I could potentially work in the car or leave some work time space on the trip. Or potentially finish work for the week early before leaving. It is nice to be home during the day with my dogs but they can be extremely distracting needing attention or to go outside. Depending on how far the office is it would make the work day shorter by cutting out a commute and save on gas and wear of my vehicle. As someone that is preparing to have children a hybrid position would be suiting as I wouldn't have to spend as much on childcare or coordinating a babysitter. However, working from home with children could have many potential distractions and interruptions.

My number one priority would be maintaining a work life balance. I believe it would be harder to separate when your home is also your workspace. I would have to set restrictions on what hours I am available for work and what times I will be devoting to my home and family. Without being able to separate and balance them I believe that would leave a lot of room to feel that you can never stop working or feeling obligated to work and respond during "family time". I also believe without a technical clock in and out time, time management would be something that would need to take priority. This would need to go hand in hand with work life balance. Not being able to manage time appropriately for work will run into 'after work hours' and potentially leave little to no room
