Imbibe Spirit Of Working From Home, Institute Tells Workers
Chairman of Rivers State branch of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPMN), Mr Kennedy Dike, has urged Nigerians to consider the need to work from home as a modern way of working regardless of its challenges.
Dike said this during the CIPMN’s 23rd Annual Conference held at the NBA House in Port Harcourt, recently.
The conference themed “Making Work Home, Making Home Work: The Emerging Reality” , was aimed at encouraging people to work from their respective homes unlike in the days of analogue when workers must be present at their places of work to perform a given task.
He further explained that the aim of the theme was to adequately appraise the changing narratives and pursue the opportunity that was open to work places and homes.
“There has been a total disruption of our hitherto reserved family life that we rarely wanted to introduce to the vicinities of our everyday work. Today and thanks to Covid-19 pandemic, our offices have been transferred to our homes and our working hours are now blurred that we hardly talk about opening and closing hours”, he said.
According to him, there are no more boundaries as work can now be done anywhere and everywhere.
Also speaking, the Vice President of the institute, Mr Henry Unuakpor, said that the modern way of doing business is now a reality, adding that the innovation is not without challenges, but must be embraced and surmounted.
“It is only the lazy man that will not come out because of the rumour of the presence of lion in the street. In life, there are challenges, so that of the technological issues must be over taken”, he said.
In her paper titled “What We Need To Do To Make It Work”, Mrs Calista Azogu, urged Nigerians to show commitment and dedication if they want the system to work.
Azogu listed power supply and distractions at home as some of the factors mitigating against Making Work Home and Making Home Work system, saying the system is cheap to operate if all enabling environment is provided.
