what is Smart working

smart working is different from home working or telecommuting, which means moving the workplace still keeping significant limitations in terms of space and schedule: agile working is based on achieving goals and results in a much more flexible way. Nevertheless it is clear that, even with many customization options, the working day needs to be organized in order to respect contingencies related to clients or project team members: flexibility can be constrained when people’s work depends on each other, to ensure that everyone reach their goals and respect deadlines.

ADVANTAGE OF SMART WORKING

• FOR WORKERS The first and biggest advantage comes from working by objectives: acting with a defined goal, the worker is often more motivated and engaged. Free from the stress caused by travelling to the office – transportation, meeting schedules, the office environment itself – employees can manage their time autonomously, working when it’s truly necessary to reach the goal, and not just to “fill” the standard eighth hour shift.

• FOR COMPANIES Talking about companies, smart working requires more accountability for all employees, and at the same time frees higher hierarchy levels from the need of continuous control over others’ work: meetings becomes shorter and more focused and there are less unnecessary breaks.

• FOR THE ENVIRONMENT Talking in general, smart working has an impact on the environment: less transfers mean less traffic and therefore less pollution.

DISADVANTAGES OF SMART WORKING

• ALIENATION: historical courses and appeals, that is, history tend to repeat itself and humanity hardly learns from its mistakes. Already Marx at the turn of two great industrial revolutions had warned humanity of the danger of alienation of man in front of the machine. Even today the problem remains relevant.

• HYPER-PRODUCTIVITY: best friend of alienation, hyper-productivity belongs to the wrong concept of smart-working. We remind you that smart in English does not mean “fast” but “intelligent”. Our society requires absurd performances to follow the economic process and respect the dreaded “time factor”.

• LACK OF PRIVACY: working from home means inserting a nucleus foreign to what is my private environment. The eyes of our manager and colleagues enter the intimacy of our living room through the webcams.

• HYPER-SAVING: with the proliferation of smart-working many companies have decided to close their offices to continue all the work from home. This results in savings in terms of rent, internet connection, bills, and stationery. Costs that however go to the burden on the employee who will have to independently procure the material with which to work. If on the one hand, the company saves, on the other the employee pays the costs.
