Flexible workplaces as a reaction to the changed world of work

The 2020/2021 pandemic situation has ensured that the working world and its framework conditions in very many companies and organisations have changed very significantly in a dramatically short period of time. As a consequence of the duty of care or due to official regulations, very many companies allow their employees to work from home or flexibly on a long-term or temporary basis.

These changes in work organisation, which affect many employees in one fell swoop, are naturally associated with challenges that need to be investigated and evaluated. It is foreseeable that many forms of digital working will remain with us even after the pandemic is over. Therefore, empirical data is needed with the help of which management can optimise flexible working and the structural, technical and work-pedagogical framework conditions.

This is where your reliable service provider for employee feedback comes into play: Rogator AG. Together with you, we determine the most important information needs in the respective current situation. We design your individual survey project based on our many years of experience in employee research. Come on board and benefit from it!

The success factors of modern working environments

There has never been such a dynamic upheaval of the working world for so many employees in companies, organisations and public authorities in such a short time as in the pandemic years of 2020/2021. Where previously the individual office was a status symbol and the open-plan office was the norm, now the imperative of social distancing prevails. And many employers allow their employees to work flexibly at least some of the time, primarily in their own home office.

At the same time as this development, the digitalisation of processes in the companies was pushed forward, sometimes frantically, in order to give employees the necessary access to the relevant systems even at the now more distributed workplaces and to enable proper communication with the clientele and the team.

As expected, the restructuring and in many cases unplanned development of the working world leads to frictions, information deficits and communication difficulties of various kinds. And these affect the performance of the entire system, i.e. the company. On the other hand, potentials are also released because processes are forced to become more efficient and many a process is simply omitted or can no longer be carried out in the previous form.

In the meantime, it is already clear in many places that – almost regardless of the further development of the pandemic – there will in all likelihood not be a “return” to the previous state of affairs. Distributed, digital or flexible working has proven itself in many cases and employees themselves will also demand their right to home office.

However, an organisation needs to be able to overview its process and communication landscape as well as the changes in work psychology and pedagogy in order to be able to manage the entire company efficiently. This requires information or empirical data on how employees assess the difficulties and benefits of flexible or distributed working. Therefore, it is even more important to regularly identify needs and to evaluate and optimise the effectiveness of newly established processes and technical solutions of modern working environments.

Together with you, we assess the information needs: What exactly do you need to know from your employees in order to be able to react appropriately to the new situation? What information do you need to ensure reasonable technical equipment for the workforce? What should you learn about the psychological consequences of virtual work? Many of these issues are similar for many organisations. For these, we are happy to provide you with our validated question sets. We are happy to develop more individual questions based on our many years of experience in employee research. Benefit from our know-how!

Rogator advises you individually on all questions concerning the modern working world

This question can hardly be answered in a generalised way because the knowledge requirements often differ between companies. However, questions about the employer’s general positioning on flexible working are almost always relevant, as are questions about the organisational framework, technical equipment and a look into the future of modern work organisation. Also important is the topic of leadership in distributed workplaces as well as possible psychological stress caused by flexible working.

When dealing with the topic of modern working environments, it can often be assumed that the needs and experiences of employees from different organisational units of the company are very heterogeneous. In this respect, it makes sense to involve people from different work areas in the development of the questionnaire. This process is moderated top-down by Rogator: from the overall goals to the final questionnaire. It is also possible to outsource the questionnaire development to Rogator. Our experts develop the relevant questions for you from the strategic information needs.

How is the questionnaire developed? This is a question of consideration that depends on how many colleagues of these people work flexibly. As a rule, not only the communication needs of the people in the home office change, but also those of those who continue to work in the company. However, the exception is usually production areas where home office is not an option (except possibly in the case of managers).

Basically, the general data protection requirements apply to employee feedback. However, when it comes to “flexible working”, there are often additional questions to differentiate the results, e.g. how often a person works in a home office or whether they have to look after children. In these cases, it must be absolutely ensured that no one can be identified on the basis of this information and, for example, the department to which they belong. This is where Rogator’s data protection experts can advise you.
