\u201cFahad Al-Duraibi\u201d: Remote work brings benefits and challenges in equal measure<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The shift to remote work, prompted by the circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, has brought many opportunities and benefits. However, these are the very <\/span><\/p>\n

benefits that can only be realized after overcoming certain challenges and obstacles. Accordingly, the benefits of remote work cannot be <\/span><\/p>\n

found until these challenges have been overcome.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps this is self-evident: the greater the benefits, the greater the challenges in achieving them. But there is no doubt <\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no doubt that this current crisis has created opportunities and brought gains, as crises often do. <\/span><\/p>\n

But not everyone will be able to seize the opportunities that the tide washes ashore.<\/span><\/p>\n

Virtual Companies<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

As a result of the crisis we are grappling with, we have witnessed sweeping changes in both work and <\/span><\/p>\n

people\u2019s everyday lives, as well as in society. Work used to follow a traditional model, tied to fixed arrival and departure times, but that is no longer the case <\/span><\/p>\n

today: remote work has become the norm.<\/span><\/p>\n

This shift in the way we work has also brought about a range of changes to companies\u2019 structures; they are no longer <\/span><\/p>\n

The company in its traditional, familiar form still exists, but we are now witnessing the emergence of new virtual companies and the transformation of businesses <\/span><\/p>\n

that once operated traditionally into virtual companies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps this transformation is one of the most notable benefits of the COVID-19 crisis: it accelerated the transition, while also <\/span><\/p>\n

convincing those who thought remote work was merely a luxury that it is a necessary and inevitable requirement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fahad Al-Duraibi, a technology, information security, and Internet of Things expert, said in an exclusive statement to \u201cEntrepreneurs\u201d that remote <\/span><\/p>\n

work involves advantages and challenges that differ entirely from those of working under normal, traditional circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

He added that these challenges include finding a suitable place away from distractions and other obstacles\u2014one that also allows employees to focus <\/span><\/p>\n

on their various work tasks while protecting the privacy and confidentiality of their work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Al-Duraibi noted that some roles require frequent discussions and meetings, but at irregular intervals, making them difficult <\/span><\/p>\n

to coordinate online. This is another challenge of remote work. He explained that internet quality and service interruptions affect <\/span><\/p>\n

business operations significantly.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said that remote work faces several challenges, such as weaker security measures than those available when working in an <\/span><\/p>\n

the office or company, which naturally includes both digital and physical security.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite these challenges, Fahad Al-Duraibi noted that remote work has several advantages, the most notable being avoiding traffic <\/span><\/p>\n

and the burden of commuting to and from work.<\/span><\/p>\n

The technology, information security, and Internet of Things expert said several technologies are needed to make remote work successful, such as <\/span><\/p>\n

the cloud services required to perform work, and technologies for connecting to the company\u2019s servers, such as VPN, or other options depending on employees\u2019 needs, of course, <\/span><\/p>\n

as well as fast, easy-to-use communication tools for work groups, such as text messaging and voice chats, <\/span><\/p>\n
