Paradigm Shift
Since 2020, remote work has becomea topicfor all companies.
Initially due to health obligations, then by companies' desire tointegrate this new form of work.
"Our clients had to learn to adapt to these new work modes.With this new Nicoka module,we make their task easier." Xavier, Founder of Nicoka
The benefits of remote work are numerous, whether for the company, the employee, or even the community!
"A gain for both the company and the employee!"
For the company, implementing remote work is synonymous withincreased productivity, as employees spend less time commuting. The company gains financially by rethinking the use of premises and their costs related to employees' physical presence. With thisnew flexibilityemployees are then less frequently absent (reduction in absenteeism).
For the employee, remote work brings abetter balancebetween personal and professional life. Your employee will feel more at ease withfewer constraints. Being at home, generally closer to children's schools, an employee will be less stressed about arriving on time to pick up the children. Less time in transport also means less money spent on fuel or public transport and adecrease in costsrelated to childcare.
Finally,everyone benefits: the community may see a reduction in the number of trips and associated carbon emissions, a decrease in peak hour transport saturation, and an increase in local spending by its residents.

A Tricky Subject
Seemingly simple, implementing remote work can become a real headache for companies. How many days per month? At what point is it validated? Who validates it? How can each employee make a request?
Faced with all these questions, we felt it essential to develop this module according to each of our clients' needs. The best way for us to support you daily.
The answer cannot be solely technological; technology must support behaviors.
"The module is set to evolve, as each company's situation is different, we co-construct it with our clients." Xavier, Founder of Nicoka
With our new "Remote Work" module activated, you can:
- Define several locations: Client site, Office, Remote Work, Coworking, Shared Offices, etc.
- List the different agencies.
- Specify the capacity of each agency by indicating the maximum number of people allowed.
- Define approval processes (workflow) for remote work requests
- Indicate time slots. For each typical week, you can specify the number of remote work days allowed per week as well as prohibited remote work days, for example

Manager and Managed
For the Manager, it brings fluidity and peace of mind in exchanges
- All requests are centralized
- He receives requests from his teams at a chosen pace (week, month)
- He approves or declines requests and automatically sends notifications to his team
- At any time, he can see the presence or absence of his employees by location or by employee
- He can override the rule following an employee's request for a specific case
For the Employee, it simplifies their procedures.
- At the defined pace, they send their remote work requests
- They can indicate if they want recurrence or not
- They receive approval or disapproval of their requests in Nicoka
- They can see at any time what has been approved
Module Presentation
Each employee and manager has a new "My Schedule" menu displayed on their Nicoka.
Managers also have a "Presence Schedule" submenu added in the "My Team" menu.
Each employee indicates office days, remote work days, client site days, and then submits them for approval to their manager.

The employee can indicate the concept of repetition by day or week according to their agreement.

Once their schedule is filled out, they find the details of their expected presence for each work location.

The employee sends for approval every week or every 2 weeks, for example
The Manager can see the presence of their team by location or individual.
