Measuring organizational proficiency in remote work
Our remote work proficiency system evaluates an organization's overall ability to work remotely, taking into account factors such as organizational culture and technological capabilities. By assessing your organization's current level of remote work proficiency, our system can provide recommendations for building and maintaining a successful remote work environment.
Areas of Evaluation
Our system evaluates six key areas crucial for the success of a remote organization.
Levels of Remote Work Proficiency
Investigation (0-25%)
Organizations at the Investigation level have numerous opportunities to adopt new technologies, tools, and processes that will enhance the productivity and cooperation of teams, reduce risk and security concerns and significantly enhance the organization’s capacity to work effectively and efficiently in a remote environment.
Adaptation (26-50%)
Organizations at the Adaptation level may be uncertain about their ability to succeed in a remote work environment. While some steps have been taken to make systems and processes adaptable to remote work, many aspects of the organization are still closely tied to a physical location.
Maturation (51-75%)
Organizations at the Maturation level show a level of confidence and progress toward increasing their ability to thrive remotely. There are usually specific areas that can be improved upon to enhance their remote work efforts, particularly in areas such as technology, tools, personnel and operations.
Advancement (76-100%)
Organizations at the Advancement level have confidence in their ability to work remotely and have discovered that incorporating suitable technologies, adjusting people and operations management, and prioritizing a culture based on trust are essential for success. There is still room for improvement in important areas such as remote leadership, communication, efficiency, and risk management.
