Nowadays there is an increased trend of telecommuting in
workplaces, this trend is rising because businesses want to retain valuable
employees and keep them creative and engaged. More and more employers are
allowing their employees to work from their homes while keeping touch with the
central office. This sometimes creates a problem while brainstorming for ideas
as many employers are working from homes and they need to keep in touch to come
up with creative ideas together.
Most of the employees that telecommute work 5 days from home
and 2 days in the office, but this still does not give them the connection they
need. Because of this growing trend a solution has been found, the business can
establish a separate online network for the employees that are telecommuting,
this will give them a way to assist and help one another in their work and stay
connected with others for personal as well as professional dialog. Many
businesses use websites or blogs to give their employees a place to maintain
relationships lend a helping hand to one another.
There are many benefits of maintaining these social networks
for employees that are working from home. One of the first and most important
advantage is that people working in groups are more productive than
individuals. When working alone most people show some kind of bias, this is
because there is no supervision or coordination from others. Another aspect is
that employees may get bored and demotivated working alone, they need a place
to socialize and discuss matters with fellow employees. Employees can post
pictures, graphs and notes for their fellow employees to provide support, this
support is invaluable to most employees.
Another advantage of these social networks is that
creativity is enhanced, if working alone an individual can get blocked by a
shortage of ideas but as a group people can rely on each other for creative
ideas.
