Busineses have learnt their lessons and are really incorporating online work as part of their system. Every business should adapt to this reality so as not to be swept away.
Well, that's true but I think there are some fintech companies that gives people the opportunity to work remotely also. It may be a matter of time.
Yes, there are businesses in my location which allow some workers to work from home for a prolonged period. They have virtual meetings once a week. These staff may go office when needed but not on a regular basis.
We have to develop our internet connectivity to make this possible. We are still struggling to stabilize 3G network on some cities in Nigeria.
This is something any business owner who is creative is going to do because you will always have to find a way to make your business work even in faces of challenges.
In the next five years, with the way technology is advancing, all jobs would be remote. Maybe only production and manufacturing would be done on site. The rest of bureaucratic work would be don't online.
I am planning to open a school and I want to integrate both online and offline teaching. The first thing I did with my proposed staff was to train them on how to teach online
Well, 5G network is already working in this part of the world and some people are using it. Of course it needs to be stabilized.
When you are talking of 5G already working, I don't seem to understand you. It would work in some parts of Lagos and you say it is working. In other countries, 4G networks have been completely phased out. Till we at least stabilize 4G in our country z remote work would not be our thing.
This would be a great initiative. I am so sure secondary school kids are just having phones for fun. They don't use it to study because most schools don't offer online teaching models. That's why I said we are very far off.
Before the pandemic, this thought pattern wasn't really necessary but as the pandemic came, it has made us to be creative on ways to still be in business if such a thing ever happens again.
Well, 4G actually works in many parts of the country already. There are also many parts of the world where 5G is not working wholy at the moment but it is just a matter of time.
It is good when a business operates remotely for a long period of time. However, not all companies can afford to operate like that. Their status would determine if they can operate or not.
The online business require you to work remotely for a longer period of time which cannot be estimated.
Experience of what happened during covid19 few years back had taught some businesses to operate remotely. Times are coming in nearest futures where workers do not need to appear at their working places before they can work.
