The new approach to business management is essentially based on the integration between business needs and the needs of the worker. And this produces the smart working, a new business model based on flexibility. Being a fairly new concept, many people tend to confuse this new model with teleworking. However, there are big differences. But what we want to focus on is how this new model is changing the world of work. The numbers speak for themselves. Already there are more than 250,000 smart workers. The so-called“agile working” is now the first choice of 50% of large Italian companies. According to various statistics, moreover, the smart workers work longer hours than their colleagues at headquarters. And then, apparently, flexibility pays.

Smart working and human resources: how to manage the work force working from home?

Work and technology now travel together. Thanks to the most modern instruments, many workers now operate from home. With the formula, in fact, of the agile working.

The benefits are enormous. On the one hand, the employee can better manage his time. Between work and family. On the other, the company can gain the ability to reduce costs related to work within.

For those who, like Gruppo La Meridiana, is mainly engaged in human resource management, the problem is another. How to monitor the production of smart workers?

In this context, the future looks traced. Whether the employee works in the company, whether they operate from home, an optimal management of the production can not do without staff involvement.

In an increasingly “mobile” society, here, then they make their way the App for job. In a progressive replacement of classical management software.

There are already several free apps that let you:

–          Give access to data and business documents to employee

–          Create reports’ production

–          Monitor the work of the smart workers

It is clear that if employees have access to valid information, at any time and from any place, they will remain involved and connected to the corporate life, just like their fellow inmates.
