Smart Working: An Intelligent Choice

The 2020 lockdown allowed many companies to discover and seriously embrace what has now become a necessity for many: Smart Working.

Defined by Italy's Ministry of Labor more precisely as "Agile Work," it is a mode of professional execution characterized by the absence of time or space constraints and a specific organization established through an agreement between employee and company — a practice that helps reconcile personal life with work and, at the same time, fosters productivity growth. For this to work, it's essential to find a balance with schedules, autonomy, and trust in your team members, both to achieve significant results in terms of efficiency and for the well-being of employees themselves.

At its foundation, there must be well-tested and shared processes that give team members the opportunity to assess the need for joint work — that is, on-site — alternated with remote sessions, without the operational urgency of having a physical presence in the office.

This system makes it possible for those who, like us at Brainy Labs, offer the opportunity to work up to 5 days out of 5 from home, to access greater job opportunities throughout Italy and even abroad.

While it's true that most workers have expressed appreciation for the benefits of Smart Working — gaining greater autonomy and the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities through results — it's also true that there are several problematic aspects in using these flexible models. Above all: the lack of social interaction, difficulty dealing with technical issues like connectivity problems, or the risk of working without time boundaries. These aspects, however, are all easily solvable. How? By not giving up on moments of sharing, just as we do at Brainy Labs, through occasional meetups and maximum communication even from a distance!

We provide our colleagues with the right tools to collaborate efficiently even remotely, as well as a physical office space where they can work, exchange ideas, and spend time together over a coffee. If you're looking for a company with this approach to work, we can't wait to meet you! Send us your resume by clicking here!
