I believe we are no stranger to the word telecommuting, especially after the outbreak of the epidemic, telecommuting is becoming more and more common, in addition to the prevention and control of the epidemic, but also includes employees' daily business trips, going out to work and so on. Nowadays, telecommuting is becoming more and more inclusive in society, and telecommuting attention continues to rise. However, as the epidemic situation gradually alleviated, everyone began to receive notices from the company asking to go back to the office.

Today, Weibo has a hot search term "Starbucks cancel telecommuting". It is understood that Starbucks interim CEO Howard Schultz announced on January 11 that Starbucks will cancel telecommuting from January 30. employees within commuting distance from Seattle headquarters will be required to work in the office at least three days a week, two of which are Tuesdays and Wednesdays The other day is up to the teams to decide, but what exactly does the so-called commute mean? Starbucks did not specify.

Starbucks has allowed employees to telecommute since the outbreak. Since September last year, Starbucks has required employees to go back to the office 1-2 days a week, but Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks, said in a memo to employees that many employees did not meet their minimum requirements.

He said the company was changing its policy because of culture, fairness and the need to correct the unintended consequences of doing a lot of work in a virtual environment, and now the new policy aims to re-establish connections between employees and coordinate teams and work. He also told employees that baristas had no chance to telecommute and that they had no choice.

Compared with offline work, one of the most obvious advantages of telecommuting for both individuals and enterprises is that it can reduce costs. as far as individuals are concerned, telecommuting does not need to run back and forth every day or take transportation to and from work every day. this not only reduces people's commuting costs, but also achieves an effect of reducing environmental pollution. As far as enterprises are concerned, long-term telecommuting can also greatly reduce the cost of enterprise office environment.

However, telecommuting is also faced with many challenges, such as employee management and sense of belonging, weak team cohesion and so on. Due to the disunity of the office location, it is also difficult for enterprise managers to evaluate the performance of all employees comprehensively and fairly.

At the same time, the limitations of communication will also reduce the efficiency of information dissemination to a certain extent, resulting in the problem that information providers and recipients can not fully understand and accept. The lack of face-to-face communication between employees, as well as the lack of transparency, will also increase the difficulty of getting the job done and the pressure of teamwork.

According to media reports, Schultz wrote in the memo that the lack of interpersonal relationships put the Starbucks brand "in jeopardy", adding that many employees were eager to gain more meaning in their work. According to an internal survey reported by Bloomberg in October, Starbucks employees are losing confidence in the company's moral and social influence, even falling to an all-time low in statistics.

In a letter to employees, Schultz said the policy also applies to employees working in other regional offices. Now Starbucks headquarters announced the abolition of telecommuting can only be said to have both advantages and disadvantages! What about you? Do you prefer telecommuting or offline work?
