A few weeks ago, Edouard Bouyala, co-founder of m-work, was the guest of Business Tools podcast to discuss changes in current work, and ways to address them.
It was also an opportunity to look back at the raison d'être of m-work, and how the product continues to evolve with its customers.
m-work and the evolution of the world of work
The world of work has undergone a radical transformation in recent years, in particular due to the rise of remote working. In this podcast with Romain Coique (https://romaincoique.com/), Edouard shared his experience and his vision of the future of work.
The Telework Boom: a new reality
The year 2020 marked a major turning point in the world of work with the COVID-19 pandemic, with the adoption of remote work which has become the norm for many workers. This rapid transition revealed a crucial need, forcing businesses to rethink their organization.
In this podcast, Edouard explains the current situation: “we live in a world where we are both in the office and at home.” Know where each team member is and plan accordingly has become a major challenge for many businesses.
The post-covid period: a new situation or the continuing importance of teleworking.
As the COVID-19 pandemic recedes, remote work is here to stay.
The benefits of working from home have become obvious, both for employees and for businesses. In France, around 55% of employees can now work remotely according to the JLL barometer.
Businesses have understood that in order to attract and retain talent, they need to offer remote work options. Even in job offers, teleworking is becoming a fundamental criterion.
This rapid change in the world of work raises fundamental questions about how businesses manage their staff, promote collective commitment and optimize their operations.
The emergence of m-work: an innovative solution to support new ways of working
The key element in creating m-work was the discovery that the main driver for employees back in the office was not only the workplace, but the possibility of reuniting with their colleagues physically. Visibility on the schedules of employees has therefore become a fundamental factor of attachment to the company.
That's how m-work focused on its team planning tool for flexible businesses.
The challenges faced by m-work
m-work addresses three main issues:
- Performance and organization: how to help managers manage team presence, plan effectively and optimize the organization.
- Collective commitment: how to strengthen social ties at work by allowing employees to find those with whom they want to work in person.
- Real estate optimization: how to facilitate the management of workspaces, by optimizing the use of offices, meeting rooms, car parks, etc.
The m-work app in action
m-work allows users to set their work preferences (in the office, working from home, on the go, etc.) in a few clicks. This information is easily accessible for the whole team.
m-work provides complete visibility into the location of each team member, making scheduling simple.
Thanks to this, m-work allows companies to obtain valuable data to better understand the distribution of remote work in their organization and optimize the use of their offices.
Shaping the future of work in an ever-changing world
The rise of remote working has led to a profound transformation in the world of work, presenting us with new challenges and opportunities. We are watching the constant evolution of remote work from its forced adoption during the COVID-19 pandemic, to its consolidation as a new norm.
It has become clear that remote work is no longer just a temporary measure, but a permanent component of the professional landscape. Businesses recognized the benefits of this flexibility for their employees and adjusted their strategies to attract and retain talent. Teleworking has become an essential requirement in many job offers.
However, with this evolution new challenges are emerging, in particular the management of employee attendance, the promotion of collective commitment and the optimization of workspaces have become major challenges for companies. How we approach these challenges will determine the success of tomorrow's businesses.
