Fastbrain’s smart working packages: what they are and who can use them

Competitive and high-performing, smart working packages designed by Fastbrain Engeinering in partnership with Canyon, offer an extra edge to simplify working conditions.

This is necessary as smart working, also known as agile working and home working, continues to grow in 2022 in Italy.

Smart working: 2 out of 3 employees want to continue doing it

The latest news on smart working is exhaustive: at least 2 out of 3 employees, if forced to return to the office, would change jobs or start their own business, according to a “People at work” survey published in Corriere.it

Flexibility and security are at the heart of the problem and evidently a paradigm shift that emerged during the pandemic period.

Businesses are experimenting with the new work model, often even failing, because of a culture that does not look at achieving results, driving employees back into the office (SMEs and PA).

Chiefly responsible for the setback is due to disappointed expectations in terms of digitization, sustainability and inclusiveness.

Agile working in most SMEs

Observer.net estimates that “agile work” will remain in at least 89 percent of large companies and 62 percent of PAs.

After a slight post-pandemic decline (from 5.37 to 4.38 million), there has been a substantial stabilization of the phenomenon, with many benefits for both companies and “smart workers.”

In fact, the data reveal a marked improvement in job performance and work-life balance for more than one-third of remote workers and the success of hybrid formulas; the latter refer to those who chose to spread their remote work over an average of three days per week in large companies and two in PA.

Smart working model, established model

The “smart working” model caused by the health care emergency, has become so widespread and established that in 2021 it was awarded the
Smart Working Award 2021
Bank of Italy to companies such as Cameo, Inail, ING Italia, Net insurance and Webranking.

Forecasts report at least 4.38 million remote workers, distributed among micro, PA and large companies(1).

Home working: happier workers

Home working has made workers “happier”: “38 percent feel more efficient in carrying out their tasks and 35 percent more effective; according to 32 percent, trust between managers and co-workers has increased, and for 31 percent, communication between colleagues has increased.” (Observatory Data)

Recall that the concept of smart working has been defined by the Law no. 81/2017, with an emphasis on organizational flexibility and especially the use of instrumentation that gives the ability to work remotely effectively and efficiently.

In addition, technology equipment must include laptops, notebooks, tablets, smartphones and all those accessories essential to smart working.

The latter can be understood, therefore, either from home (home working) or from any location deemed suitable by the worker.

Technostress: what it is

Along with the improvement of working conditions due to home working, which has allowed zero expenses and time for transportation while increasing those in the family, there is also the phenomenon of “technostress” certainly caused to theoverlap between private and work life.

Consequence evidently of ineffective time management or from theuse of inefficient technologies (conference “Smart Working Revolution: a future to be built now – Smart Working Observatory).

Smart working, in fact, is not merely an emergency measure, but a working model that has been reporting success in many countries around the world for some time; it means working anywhere, including from home, always connected and with the right technologies.

At the center, greater autonomy coupled with accountability for results.

Home working: Better results with the right IT equipment

As stated above, for this purpose Fastbrain has come up with recommended home working configurations for workers in micro enterprises, self-employed, SMEs and PA, based on maximum flexibility, quality and cost-effectiveness.

These are 3 kits designed to help the smart worker improve professional performance with state-of-the-art technology that is already prepared for remote work.
