S01 E04: The Need for Social Infrastructure in Remote Working
Description
It is said that humans need 21 days to turn any action into a habit. We have been working from home for the past few months — we must have incorporated the necessary skills needed to work remotely by now. Even so, almost all organizations still keep wondering whether work from home is going to become a permanent reality rather than a privilege like it was before.
In episode 4 of Culture Club, we host Mr. Nitin Nahata from Udaan. Nitin is the HR leader for Udaan, who Ketan(Head of People Functions, Rentomojo) defines as the "blue-eyed boy who is redefining the supply and distribution system in India." Nitin has over 15 years of experience working as an HR in multinational companies like Standard Chartered Bank, HSBC, Tata Global Beverages, and more.
This conversation between Nitin, Senthil, and Ketan is a discussion on the inevitable evolution of eCulture in professional lives across all sectors and industries. Nitin mentions that eCulture has already been playing an active role in our lives for the past few years. What COVID-19 did was to make it a necessity rather than an option.
One of the key takeaways of this discussion was Nitin's insightful observation on the importance of both physical and social infrastructure for productive remote work. Nitin pointed out that managers and other leaders must act as bridges between the organization and its employees. They must be better at articulation when working remotely while helping the organization establish a culture of trust instead of micromanaging.
Listen to the conversation between Nitin, Ketan, and Senthil in this episode to gain insights into the changing world of work and how to make the best of it.
