New Principles in Working Culture for the New Year 2021

The year 2020 changed a lot from our personal lifestyles to professional ethics. The switch from a handshake to Namaste has taught all of us that the things that were lately handled in person can be done from distant as well, that too with greater efficiency and control. This way you not just contain any prevailing or future disasters but also bring agility in your attitude and the working methods to be able to adapt to any changing situation.

Considering everything that we faced in this year, it is time now to move ahead to the upcoming New Year while incorporating our learning and experience from the current year. Let’s take a look at the new principles of the working culture that we need to adopt in our organizations to enable a streamlined workflow.

1. Connected Departments and Systems

We have experienced the complications well during this year when people were working from different locations and the organization was lacking complete control over the information and data because of the disconnected systems. This situation could have been rather solved if there has been one single platform as the datacenter for all types of business information exchange in the organization. 

2. Enhanced Communication and Transparency

This is the one thing that completely went missing this year due to the pandemic situation. We have a habit of talking to people in person for any kind of query or conclusions in the organizational premises, and this was certainly not possible to do during the major 2020 lockdown ever in history. This however, helped us realize the fact that there needs to be a platform for storing, sharing and communicating information, something that everyone in the office can refer to from any location and any device for any kind of query. This will ensure the authentication in the communication and will also enhance transparency in the processes for the leaders.

3. Remote Working Access 

We simply need to eliminate this taboo that businesses cannot be handled while working from home. We have been the witnesses to the year 2020 where the businesses were saved just because they could allow the employees work from their home. Learning from the same we need to incorporate this culture as the basic working culture to ensure smooth remote working. The employees must be able to access business information, and share the same easily from their own devices in the coming year ahead. 

Conclusion

All these principles aren’t very easy to follow but, if the approach is right, all of these can be achieved. The simplest and the most intelligent approach to do the same is by adopting a smart and robust ERP software like SAP Business One in the organization that already possesses these features and can manage all the core business functions well. Intelligent ERP like SAP Business One are the future of the businesses, and you can surely secure yours if incorporated the same at the right time.
