FLEXIBLE WORK ARRANGEMENTS

Implementing flexible work arrangements can be favorable to employee and employer.

Maybe some people are thinking that these are only in favor to employee, but this can also favor
to employer, because they can help their employee to balance things and be productive. Flexible
work arrangements also is one of the things that the employee being look at. Because sometimes
without these they are feel that that certain work can chain them. So it is common that every
company or agency has their own practices in work arrangements.

One of the known Filipino owned companies that practicing flexible work arrangements
is the Ayala Corporation. The well-being of the employees is important to Ayala. In this regard,
the organization remains responsible in ensuring the employees occupational health are
safety. The organization remains committed to being compliant to related regulations on
industrial health and safety, both locally and globally. The organization realizes that an
assessment of the risks related to business and employees is critical and to this end, the
organization ensures a continuous and updated review and assessment of the related processes. It
is important that hazards to the organization are identified clearly to ensure quick and proper
response in mitigating these elements. Next that they giving priority is the Policy on Child
Labor and Forced or Compulsory Labor, for the purposes of this policy, a “child” is defined
as an individual who is below 18 years of age, and “forced or compulsory labor” is any service
exacted from a person who is unwilling, under the threat of penalty or menace. The organization
acknowledges that employers have important roles to play and are ultimately responsible in
ensuring that its workforce is treated with dignity and respect. Ayala does not tolerate the use of
child labor or forced labor. Lastly is the organization strives to uphold the principles of Human
Rights within our businesses and in the communities it serves. This leads Ayala to
commitment in ensuring safety of the communities, promoting human rights in our dealings, and
ensuring that the communities are dealt with fairness and respect. In foreign companies, Agilent
Technologies is also practicing flexible work arrangements like flexible work hours, flexible

time off, paid holiday time, flexible work arrangements, leaves of absence, and adoption
assistance. Business Insider ranked Agilent Technologies as the number one company that offers
flexible scheduling, time off, and other programs geared toward a sustainable work-life balance.
More than 15 percent of their employees don’t work traditional Monday through Friday
schedules.

Lastly, the number one that implementing the flexible works arrangements when it comes
to Philippine agency is DOLE. In 2010, DOLE released another set of guidelines for the
implementation of flexible work arrangements and the exemption from night work prohibition
for female employees in the business process outsourcing (BPO) industry. With these guidelines,
the department stresses the exemption of female employees form the night work prohibition
under Article 130 of the Labor Code. Under Article 130, female employees are allowed to
work during nighttime as long as they aren’t below 18 years of age and are in accordance
with Article 131 of the Labor Code. In turn, employers must provide a safe and healthful
working spaces, as well as adequate resting areas within the workplace. DOLE encourages
businesses to adhere to such guidelines to promote the overall wellbeing of their employees,
which contributes to the success of the organization.

These are the companies and agency that stand as a model who gave priority to the rights
and needs of their employees. Through these arrangements they can assure that their employees
can work confidently and productively. The company can also assure the loyalty that the
employee can give and work to them with honesty.

TECHNOLOGICAL UNEMPLOYMENT

Several studies and researches have been conducted on the jobs which have a higher
chance of getting replaced by AI machines, robots, and other automated devices. In this article,
we present you with a comprehensive enlistment of jobs and professions that will be fully
computerized in a few decades. Based on the nature, type and amount of training required for
these jobs, AI machines are most likely to perform these jobs in the coming years:

1. Telemarketers

The probability of this job getting fully computerized is quite high, at least 99.9%. One of
the biggest reasons behind this replacement is that the conversion rates of telemarketing are quite
low. The career growth expectancy in telemarketing is meant to reduce by 3% in upcoming
years.

2. Book-keeping clerk

The likelihood of this job getting replaced by robots and AI-activated devices is almost
98%. Well, it’s no surprise that this job is getting computerized as the growth in this role is
expected to decrease by a solid 8%. Tools and applications like QuickBooks, Microsoft Office,
and other tools offer book-keeping features and services. With a rapid increase in the fully
automated tools and applications, the job of book-keeping clerk will no longer need a person to
keep all your books in check.

3. Benefits managers

With a remarkable replacement likelihood of over 96% and a surprising growth ratio of
almost 7%, it doesn’t mean that this job is safe from automation. As the business organizations
are enlarging their businesses and prospects, automated benefit and compensation management
systems will save a lot of time and efforts. These automated systems are currently gaining

popularity and are being adopted by some huge business organizations to provide their
employees with promised benefits and compensations.

4. Receptionists

Automated phoning and scheduling systems have the potential to replace the role of a
receptionist. The possibility of computerization and automation of this role is nearly 96%. Most
of the multinational companies and huge business organizations which don’t have an office-wide
telephoning system are going for these automated systems.

5. Couriers

In the next few years, your delivery-boy will no longer have a human form. Drones and
robotic devices are rapidly taking over the courier and delivery services. The expectancy of a
robotic takeover is increased by an astonishing 5%. It only a matter of time that this job will be
fully automated.

6. Proofreaders

Proofreading applications and software are used almost every blogging site. With a
replacement probability of almost 84%, this job will soon be done only by automated software in
the next few years. There are now self-checking writing tools and applications that not only helps
in checking and detecting grammatical errors rather it also detect plagiarism and corrects the
sentence structures.

7. Computer support specialist

organizations now rely on automated robots and software to answer FAQs and customer support
questions. The replacement possibility of this job is estimated to be 65%.

8. Market research analysis

The role of research analysts is crucial for every organization and company in content
development. These analysts are supposed to conduct comprehensive market research on their
competitors. To produce a highly accurate and comprehensive market research report, automated
robots are gaining popularity in the business and market sectors.

9. Advertising salesperson

Advertising has shifted from print media and TV to online and social marketing. Social
media platforms offer thousands of options for marketers to which makes it easy for them to
promote their product and services. Many huge organizations utilize the services of the
animation studio to obtain high quality animated business ads and explainer videos.

10. Retail salespeople

With a likelihood of 92%, this job is most likely to disappear in the next couple of years.
With the emergence of online shopping, people are now inclined towards doing online market
research and making a purchase decision on their own. Most of the online shopping stores now
offer high-end features self-checkout to enhance the shopping experience.

11. Accountant

There is no denying that computerized devices are much better at financing and
accounting than any human will ever be. Many companies and business organizations are already
automated their financing and accounting systems and no longer need a human employee for
monitoring and tracking the payables and receivables.

12. Security guards

The evolution of technology in the field of security is commendable. With facial

recognition systems to high-tech robotic guards, AI has made huge advancements in the field of
security.

As the days go on, as individual today I predict that one of the new job that will emerge
in the future is medical mentor. We are aware that there are doctors and nurses that giving
medical consultation to the patients, on what medicine they can take and how do the patient take
care of their health. But after of this consultation, there are patients who didn’t follow the
recommendation of medical experts because of some reasons, that’s why instead of getting well
they are getting worst. Through medical mentor they can monitor those patients that need to give
focus if they are following their medical recommendation. The doctors and nurses cannot do it
by themselves because there a lots of work inside the hospital, so I can sense that medical mentor
can be the way. Especially now a days that health is one of the issue worldwide and affect our
daily lives because of not taking care of ourselves. Nobody is completely sure about what the
future of AI holds for the coming human generations, but considering the human capabilities to
learn, to adapt, to self-educate— it is safe to say that human beings are bound to bring about
more rapid and successful changes in the world.
