JAKARTA - As the world begins to recover from social lockdowns, many companies are determined to bring their employees back to the office. For some companies, such as Apple, this decision led to high levels of dissatisfaction among employees and even the loss of essential workers.

The new wave of the pandemic is forcing further adjustments to the company's plans. As a result, the re-adoption to a completely in-house way of working is increasingly being echoed into the future.

The majority of employees have adapted to teleworking and many find it better to work from home. With higher levels of employee satisfaction, well-organized remote work has the potential to increase effective business outcomes.

Kaspersky executives share their New Achievement insights on efficiently running multinational, remote and hybrid teams.

Evgeniya Naumova, Executive Vice President at Kaspersky and leader of a team of more than 670 employees, finds that online collaboration opens up new perspectives for her department.

"Despite all the challenges, my team managed to end the pandemic year on a positive note with better results than we achieved in previous years," commented Evgeniya.

Even after switching to remote work, the company is still achieving double-digit growth in 2020 across multiple streams.

"At the company, which is a key (and most challenging) business segment, sales grew by 23 percent compared to pre-pandemic levels."

Sergey Soldatov, Head of the Center for Security Operations at Kaspersky, agrees that remote work can bring new achievements rather than difficulties when combined with already established preparations.

“We continue to assess the productivity of SOCs, and we find that regardless of the mode they work in, the efficiency of a person in the role continues to increase.

Soldatov added that remote work was not a challenge for them, and it would not be a problem for any company with a mature process.

"I believe that remote work is a good test for the maturity and effectiveness of the process," he concluded.
