Remote Working Difficulties between men & women:<\/p>\n
The epidemic had a significant impact on work and life in the UAE, as it did in most other regions of the world. The UAE government has implemented laws to guarantee job stability for citizens of the UAE as well as for international employees. A study shows that as a coping strategy during the peak of the pandemic, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization (MOHRE) issued policy directives requiring employers to carry out the following metrics: remote working adjustments, paid leave grants to staff members, unpaid leave grants to employees, temporary salary reductions for staff members, and\/or permanent salary reductions for employees (Hogan Lovells 2020).<\/p>\n
The Kafala system, for instance, has various ramifications for female migrant domestic workers, such as longer hours of labor at home without a corresponding rise in pay (Aoun, 2020).<\/p>\n
A report from (Ernst and Young 2017) showed that workplace obstacles for women in the UAE include obvious obstacles, subtle obstacles, and cultural constraints. The term “visible hurdles” in this context frequently refers to problems like presenteeism and how the workplace may be oblivious to the diverse requirements of women, such as nursing and childcare. The religious and cultural undertones that are never explicitly addressed but are always evident in conversations make up the majority of the hidden barriers. This might include the part played by women in regular business interactions, negotiations, and conversations with clients who are males.<\/p>\n
According to researchers, working remotely has a lot of disadvantages, according to academics, which might make it less appealing. Studies have revealed an increased tendency for work-family conflict in the majority of distant work situations (Ibarra et al., 2020). The article states as well the degree of efficacy and communication is decreased when working remotely for women (particularly moms or caregivers), compared to face-to-face or within a physical workplace. Social connectedness and working rapport suffer as a result (Ibarra et al., 2020).\u00a0<\/p>\n
A survey was done earlier on the challenges that face men versus women face working remotely (Rachel Pelta, 2021). It showed that the ability to collaborate was higher for men than women where men\u2019s collaboration was 31% while women\u2019s were 30%. Another was effective real-time communication where men were 25% more effective than women 17%. Men managed relationships with co-workers virtually better than women by 5% where women were 16% but men had a percentage of 21%. 30% of women face technological problems while working remotely men who had only 22% do.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Many employees may want remote-only or hybrid workplaces in the future since they learned they could perform their jobs from a distance.<\/p>\n
60% of women said they would search for a new job if they were not permitted to continue working remotely in their current one, compared to 52% of males who said they would resign. And in that job hunt, 80% of women and 69% of men agreed that remote work alternatives are among the most crucial things to consider when considering a new position (Rachel Pelta, 2021).<\/p>\n
Remote working difficulties between married and singles:<\/p>\n
Many married couples and single people who started working from home during the COVID-19 era eventually found it difficult. Based on their living arrangements, family structures, personalities, and a variety of other factors, single people and married people faced different specific challenges. The first difficulty that the remote workers encountered was remote collaboration because all of the employees were dispersed across various locations (Matli, 2020).\u00a0 The small to medium-sized businesses found it challenging to work on business projects without any real restrictions, the team members were unable to interact with the business documents, projects, and items. Additionally, the lack of a pleasant workspace affected both married and single couples working in SMEs. Working remotely, especially with children and a partner, is fraught with distractions. This is most common among remote workers who do not have a designated workspace in their homes, and it is more common in females than males. During the pandemic, most women were forced to work in their bedrooms, living rooms, and other shared spaces, causing a slew of distractions.<\/p>\n
SWOT Analysis :<\/p>\n
SWOT analysis is the best tool to regain balance for SME employees since during the pandemic. This section presents a SWOT Analysis of the WFH (Figure 1.0):<\/p>\n
Figure 1.0 <\/p>\n
Strength:<\/p>\n
One strength of remote working was better to work balance, working remotely means that employees can spend more time with their families.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is possible to create a schedule that could enable one to achieve an effective balance between personal and work life (Uddin, 2021).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Weaknesses:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Communication gap is one of the weaknesses encountered by SMEs during covid19.<\/p>\n
Remote workers relied mostly on video calls and messaging to communicate with their colleagues.<\/p>\n
The absence of effective communication among SME employees acted as a roadblock to proper team collaboration (Uddin, 2021).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Another weakness encountered by the SME was management challenges.\u00a0<\/p>\n
During the pandemic, working from home sounded interesting however most employees had to manage every activity ranging from their workplaces to internet connections by themselves.<\/p>\n
Opportunities:<\/p>\n
One of the opportunities that came along with working remotely for SME employees during the pandemic was the ability to save money.<\/p>\n
SME employees were able to save on the cost of the money they spent while commuting from their homes to workplaces and saving on money for daycare and after-school programs since employees acted as caregivers.<\/p>\n
Threats:<\/p>\n
The main threats that faced SMEs were data breaches and cyber security.<\/p>\n
New online services and tools introduced distractions and resulted in data breaches because the workers were working remotely and depending on their devices and networks (Matli, 2020).<\/p>\n
The desirable and desired work-from-home option has not been noted to be the better option for women, singles, and married people. Remote working is still popular, but not as much as it was during the pandemic. As a result, better policies and guidelines from small and medium-sized businesses should be in place to effectively make and regulate working from home feasible. Most employees are unaware of what remote working entails and lack the necessary resources for the transition, such as software for accessing official documents and a pleasant working environment. Therefore, for the practice to be successful, employees must receive the appropriate training in dealing with threats and weaknesses caused by remote working.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
