The Rise of Asynchronous Working

Extracted from our Strategic HR Thinking Whitepaper

A profound shift in the working style of employees and organisations has emerged in recent years and it goes by the name of “asynchronous working.” This innovative approach to work has gained traction due to advancements in technology, the globalisation of the workforce and the changing expectations of employees. Asynchronous working is fundamentally different from traditional synchronous work, where everyone is expected to be online and available simultaneously.

What This Whitepaper Will Discuss

Asynchronous Working: An Overview: We explore what asynchronous working entails and how it integrates the ‘phygital’ work experience. This section will detail the tools and communication methods that facilitate asynchronous work, which help employees manage their time more effectively and focus on deep work.

Strategic Advantages: The advantages of adopting an asynchronous work style are manifold. We discuss how this approach can lead to cost savings by reducing the need for physical office space, improve work-life balance, enhance equality, diversity, and inclusion, provide better customer service by leveraging global time zones, and foster innovation through access to a diverse global talent pool.

Increased Efficiency and Productivity: Asynchronous working can enhance project management and task completion, allowing companies to adapt quickly to market changes and customer needs. This section will highlight how asynchronous work maximises productivity by minimising distractions and enabling employees to work during their peak productivity periods.

Drawbacks and Solutions: While the benefits are significant, asynchronous working also presents challenges such as communication delays, potential isolation, misalignment across time zones, and difficulties in monitoring and accountability. We offer strategies to overcome these challenges, including the implementation of robust communication protocols, regular virtual team interactions, and effective use of project management tools.
