  1. in this presentation, we will be identifying the challenges,
  2. benefits and solutions employees and employers face while
  3. working remotely in manufacturing and finance departments.
  4. So what does it mean to work remotely
  5. simply put
  6. working remotely is a style of work that allows
  7. professionals to work outside of the traditional office environment,
  8. such as at home or in a part.
  9. Yeah,
  10. the reason why working remotely exists is essentially the result of
  11. recognizing that not all work requires a specific fit work environment.
  12. It grants employees and employers the flexibility to
  13. design their work around their daily activities,
  14. creating a coexistence of personal and professional life.
  15. So how does remote working influence manufacturing?
  16. To answer this first, we must define what is manufacturing?
  17. Manufacturing is the process by which raw materials
  18. are transformed into Finnish are partially finished,
  19. sellable goods.
  20. What working remotely does for manufacturing departments is
  21. increased efficiency and effectiveness of some work activities.
  22. These include
  23. encouraging the implementation of online technologies,
  24. the reduction in size of factories and operation centers,
  25. encouraging the shifting of floor operations to
  26. become manned by a generally skilled team,
  27. capable of achieving multiple tasks and place the specialists on remote platforms
  28. and by increasing the employee's motivation to perform tasks.
  29. The implementation of technology can
  30. benefit manufacturing department by reducing
  31. the number of persons required to perform a specific task and
  32. enabling the department to create a more consistent product.
  33. A reduction in factory size can see less human workers,
  34. which overall reduces the modest space required to perform
  35. manufacturing tasks
  36. and having two teams, one more generally skilled on the floor
  37. in person
  38. and one remotely who specializes in task that can be performed remotely
  39. would reduce the number of persons required to perform specific tasks.
  40. Overall employee motivation has seemed, has proven to be increasing.
  41. Overall remote working has shown to motivate
  42. employees to further perform
  43. overall employees motivation to perform tasks has been proven
  44. to increase as a result of remote working.
  45. According to W. B. M.
  46. Technologies,
  47. inc many of the benefits associated
  48. with working remotely are increasing productivity,
  49. happier and healthier employees and better performance.
  50. Yeah.
  51. Yeah.
  52. With these benefits,
  53. with these benefits, remote working has also seen some chocolate.
  54. With these benefits,
  55. manufacturing has also seen some challenges when it comes to remote working.
  56. This is the result of manufacturing being primarily a physical base
  57. department
  58. operating
  59. tasks such as operating machines,
  60. delivering orders,
  61. employees not having the correct technologies
  62. and we're employees struggling to adapt to the remote working
  63. are all factors that create
  64. that made remote working very challenging.
  65. As a result of COVID-19 many
  66. manufacturers encountered several operational issues,
  67. forcing them to either reduce their outputs
  68. with limited staff or temporarily halt production.
  69. This caused a demand for products
  70. of further in this caused the demand for products to further increase
  71. and revenue
  72. to decline in sales.
  73. As a result of COVID-19 many manufacturers in cultured several operating issues,
  74. forcing them to either reduce their output
  75. with limited staff or temporarily halt production.
  76. This caused the demand for products to further
  77. increase and revenues to decline as sales decreased
  78. remote working is also a costly undertaking for employees
  79. costs associated with acquiring equipment is one of these costs,
  80. as many employees do not have the appropriate equipment to
  81. Mhm.
  82. Additionally,
  83. adapting to remote working can be a challenge
  84. for some employees as they lack the training
  85. to understand and perform tasks remotely.
  86. So how does remote work can influence finance?
  87. Well, first we must find what is finance,
  88. Finance is the management of an organization's money.
  89. This can be done in the form of investing, leveraging, credit, debt etcetera.
  90. According to current,
  91. the benefits of working remotely and finance have
  92. been found to be an increase in productivity.
  93. This funding has been
  94. this increased productivity has resulted from
  95. increased personal well being of employees,
  96. better relationship with employees and employer and a
  97. relatively easy transition to a remote work environment.
  98. The increased productivity resulting from increased personal well being.
  99. One of the goals of an organization and it's
  100. moved to work remotely is to increase its efficiency.
  101. One way to achieve this is by increasing the productivity of workers
  102. according to my garden McGregor's theory of motivation
  103. employees required challenging task to maximize motivation.
  104. This along with the freedom to consequent.
  105. This along with the freedom of consequence of working remotely due to the lack
  106. of micromanagement and in an increase in
  107. employees mental health has encouraged greater productivity.
  108. This along with the freedom consequence of remote working
  109. has resulted.
  110. This along with
  111. this along with the freedom consequence of remote working due to a lack of
  112. micromanagement has seen an increase in employees
  113. mental health and an overall greater productivity
  114. according to Martha.
  115. More than a quarter of employees experience
  116. less passive aggression when conducting work remotely
  117. and eating. In this defining they found that over 50
  118. according to mirror.
  119. More than a quarter of employees experienced
  120. less passive aggression when conducting work remotely.
  121. And over half of employees feel trusted to work autonomously
  122. increasing their mental health.
  123. And and this is also the finding that 50% of employees also asked about their,
  124. sorry 50% of employers also asked about their employees well being
  125. finally one of the biggest benefits to find acts.
  126. Finally, one of the biggest benefits too.
  127. Finally,
  128. one of the biggest benefits to working remotely in finance
  129. is the easy transition from a traditional work environment.
  130. Many protests is involved in the fight.
  131. Many processes involved in finance were already conducted aided by technology.
  132. This made the shift a lot easier as technologies were already in place.
  133. This made the shift a lot easier as technology was already in place
  134. past, such as investing, borrowing,
  135. issuing pays
  136. tasks such as investing, borrowing,
  137. issuing payrolls and analysis were all
  138. already being conducted via electronic means.
  139. However, consequence of technology,
  140. there are other challenge, there are some
  141. however consequence of technologies,
  142. there are many challenges that also face finance,
  143. security,
  144. cost of technologies, software, equipment and maintenance
  145. and employee incompetence in using technologies are a few
  146. in finance security is one
  147. major
  148. challenge that
  149. in finance security is one major challenge that work
  150. in finance security is one major challenge that remote working has faced
  151. many employees.
  152. Many employers are concerned that information about their company
  153. and clients financial details can be accessed by members of the public
  154. like family members and friends or
  155. by cyber attacks
  156. or fear the vulnerability of home internet connections and networks
  157. to cyber
  158. or fear the vulnerability of home internet
  159. connections and networks to cyber attacks.
  160. On top of this.
  161. The cost of implementing such technologies in each individual employees,
  162. remote working space can be very high.
  163. If employees do not own the appropriate equipment required to achieve task.
  164. It forced the organized organization to invest in equipment.
  165. This becomes a problem enlarged. If manufacturing uh
  166. this problem becomes even greater,
  167. this problem becomes greatly enlarged.
  168. If the foundation for essential equipment to operate is not owned,
  169. are installed in many employees homes
  170. in finance.
  171. When working remotely,
  172. you are required to have sound stable and required and reliable
  173. in finance when working remotely,
  174. it is a requirement to have sown stable and reliable
  175. in finance,
  176. it is required to have sown stable and reliable connection.
  177. And if these fundamentals are not in place,
  178. it can pose extremely costly to employers.
  179. Mhm.
  180. Okay,
  181. then there's the incompetence that employees may,
  182. then there's a lack of training that employees may have,
  183. then there's the challenge of lack of training.
  184. Many employees may not be very
  185. tip.
  186. Many employees may not possess the nor hole
  187. to utilize the technology is correctly
  188. and if problems were to raise, would not know how to rectify them,
  189. essentially creating a bottleneck in operations.
  190. So what are some solutions to working remotely in manufacturing and finance?
  191. A few senators of
  192. a few solutions that we found our selecting those within a company who are capable of
  193. working remotely and recognizing those who are required
  194. to remain in a physical world space.
  195. These, for example, can include emergency personnel
  196. training, remote workers and educating them on equipment damage,
  197. training employees to work remotely and educating them
  198. on challenges and dangers that can arise.
  199. Well performing tasks is another way that
  200. is another way to combat the challenges
  201. of working remotely
  202. and finally implementing software that will monitor
  203. Mhm.
  204. And finally implementing software that will
  205. monitor machinery and data level entries.
