In conditions of self-isolation, many companies in Russia were forced to go online. This affected the organization of work processes. In order to determine how common this is and how flexible a business can be, Marketing Logic conducted a survey on its website that involved more than 100 organizations, mostly clients of the Analytics company-representatives of large businesses.
The survey has showed that 62% of the companies participating in the survey, even before the restrictive measures, practiced remote work for their employees, and only 8% never allowed their employees to work outside the office/place of production. It is also noteworthy that almost half of the companies ' business processes are configured in such a way that if an employee works from home, they will change slightly. For 15% of companies, they will not change at all, so we can suppose that companies are initially high-tech, and the result does not depend on the place of work of employees. The survey results also has showed that most companies are willing to spend part of their resources to provide remote work, providing employees with the most necessary or all the tools to work. Only 26% of employers are not ready to participate financially in the organization of a remote workplace.
"Despite the fact that the survey can not claim to be of sociological significance in the whole business of Russia, we found the result interesting for publication, because it clearly shows the trends and moods of companies. There is clearly flexibility to move employees to remote work, and we expect that even after the end of the pandemic and the removal of all restrictive measures, this trend will continue. Business will see that many processes can be optimized and entrusted to robots, some to employees on "remote", and office and administrative expenses can be significantly reduced» Managing Partner of Marketing Logic Dmitry Galkin.
