Colombia. We live in a digital world with a dynamic business environment, where work happens anytime, anywhere. In this sense, the XXI century has promoted new labor practices and teleworking is one of them, since it allows to expand the labor fields of both employees and companies. Among the main benefits of this modality are the flexibility to work from anywhere, the saving of time in transfers and, even, the reduction of expenses for the company.
In the words of Alejandro González Bedoya, Product Sales Specialist at Cisco: "For the development of this innovative and growing model it is essential that people adopt a culture of commitment that conforms to the guidelines and standards that each organization has. Today, simplifying work and offering the right tools to have conversations together, empowers organizations to be more productive and competitive, making teamwork agile, flexible and secure."
You can not think of this practice without imagining technology as a key piece, so renewing yourself and having the necessary tools is almost an obligation. "At Cisco, we are obsessed with transforming the way we work through user-friendly experiences, ensuring greater employee productivity and more effective meetings. In the same way, we are committed to the transition that the world is experiencing and, of course, Colombia, to promote the digitalization of the country."
"We recently developed Cisco Webex Teams, the suite of enterprise collaboration solutions that presents the cloud as the new workspace. Thanks to this technology, it is possible to create virtual spaces in the cloud with users from inside and outside the company so that they interact by voice, text (chat), video, etc. and turn virtual contact into an experience as natural as possible, "added González.
Migrating to teleworking is not an easy task. No software, no matter how modern, will work well if you don't have hardware that can support it. The coordinated implementation of the two technologies will contribute to generating value for the company and its human talent, increasing productivity, generating sustainable mobility, promoting innovation and improving the quality of life of workers. Likewise, the company must commit to its worker and guarantee the space and tools necessary to carry out its work and respond in a timely manner with its obligations, thus strengthening the employer-employee relationship.
González also said that in this scenario space ceases to be a limitation. The concepts 'virtual worker', 'mobile worker' and 'telework' are actually a rapid evolution of human talent from the understanding and use of technology. In addition, he added that "from Cisco we continue to work to accelerate and deepen the levels of adoption of the architectures that respond to these scenarios, both with connectivity and collaboration solutions, as well as integrating applications and innovations that make life easier for workers and support the work of human resources towards them."
