An emergency epidemic situation has been in place in Bulgaria for nearly one year. It affects not only the way we communicate, but also our working habits. More than 50% of Bulgarians have been working from home since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. Nearly 63% of the employers have introduced flexible working conditions. Moreover, they intend to keep them after the end of the pandemic.
“In the short term, remote working is an excellent decision. It helps the employer save money and has a series of positive effects”, said Georgi Parvanov, who has worked in the HR field for 27 years. However, we must pay attention to the disadvantages in the medium and the long turn before we vacate our offices, notes Georgi Parvanov. “There is no way you can form a strong and united team from a distance, because communication among the team members is insufficient”, added Georgi Parvanov.
The blurring of boundaries between work and private life is one of the biggest dangers. In today’s digital world, we must learn how to distinguish our spare time from our job duties, without neglecting our working time, said Maria Mincheva from the Bulgarian Industrial Association in an interview for BNR.
