Natalia Yagovkina, HR Director at Garda Technologies LLC, believes that the possibility of attracting out-of-town personnel is one of the ways to overcome the personnel shortage: "Having offices in Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, St. Petersburg, we can hire guys from Petrozavodsk, Novosibirsk and even Krasnoyarsk to our teams. This helps us cope in the conditions of a severe shortage of competent specialists in the labor market. This helps the employees themselves to be more flexible in planning their workday and solving problems, not to waste a lot of time on traveling around the city, traffic jams, to find morocco whatsapp number database time for family, hobbies, to observe what is called work-and-life balance."

Technologies draws attention to the fact that the possibility of remote work is not provided for all departments: "These are mainly operational administrative functions, some technical teams. And yes, the flexibility I am talking about applies only to the territory of the Russian Federation - we do not work from abroad."

Tatyana Lunina named administrative and technical support departments among the departments where employees work from the office. She also believes that sales department employees should meet with clients in person at least from time to time.

Deputy Director and co-founder of VINTEO Dmitry Sery believes that remote work is a very convenient format for companies that have several offices in different cities: "VINTEO's head office is located in Krasnodar, with representative offices in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Alma-Ata, and production in Maykop. Employees can work in the office, completely remotely, or in a hybrid mode, choosing the type of employment that is most comfortable for them. Remote work significantly saves employees' time on the way from home to the office and back, which can take several hours in one direction only, reduces the load on transport networks - which is very important for megacities, for example, Krasnodar is "famous" for its multi-hour traffic jams - expenses for office space and business trips. In our experience, in a completely remote or hybrid format, staff works more efficiently, work issues are resolved more quickly, all controversial issues are discussed with colleagues via videoconferencing, connecting "at the touch of a button." There are practically no restrictions on the remote employment format - the company takes all measures to ensure the security of information and data during remote work. work of personnel, including those from other countries."

The downside of the remote mode, according to Svetlana Sansevich, is the control of employees, primarily due to their workload: "Many large players in the IT market are taking the issue of controlling the workload of employees seriously and are forcibly returning people to offices, despite the objective economic benefits of remote work."

Irina Samokhvalova believes that the problem of remote control is solvable: "We have developed the Solar addVisor product for managing remote employees, which helps to evaluate and balance the workload by analyzing working time at the computer."

Natalia Yurina, Head of the Personnel Selection and Adaptation Department at the MyOffice software developer, noting the continued high demand for remote and hybrid work from both companies and employees, sees a trend towards a kind of fatigue with this mode: "Over the past six months, we have seen an increase in the number of candidates who are ready to consider offers with office visits again. We also have employees who initially got a job at MyOffice remotely, but then moved completely to the office or began to go there more often."

Tatyana Lunina draws attention to such difficulties as the reduction of personal interaction, which complicates communication and the development of teamwork. "In addition, remote work can create a feeling of isolation among employees, especially those who prefer to work in a team. Various technical problems may also arise that will affect productivity. Finally, when working remotely, special attention must be paid to data security," continues the HR Director of Konica Minolta Business Solutions Russia.

"The lack of personal communication with colleagues and management can cause disagreements and misunderstandings in the team. Often, remote employees choose a schedule that is convenient for them, which can complicate work processes. Also, it is not always possible to provide the employee with the necessary technical support, which can affect the results of work," reminds Anastasia Lande.

Anton Aplemakh also points out that working remotely requires a high level of self-discipline: "Remote work requires self-discipline, strong communication skills, and the ability to stay motivated despite potential isolation, so you need to be more careful when selecting personnel. There are also legislative restrictions that change day by day. And unfortunately, there are good candidates that we won't even consider."

"The disadvantages of remote work include the isolation of employees from the team, which can lead to the loss of qualified personnel. There are also purely everyday problems: poor communication, power outages, the inability to organize a comfortable workplace," Artem Stytsenko sees such risks.
