It is undeniable that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a long negative impact on the world. As of January 2022, the death toll caused by COVID-19 has passed the 5.6 million mark. Countries are taking preventive steps to protect their people from contracting this disease, one of which is by limiting mobility. This led to restrictions on work activities in the office.
Work From Home (WFH), Work From Office (WFO), and hybrid working are terms that are familiar to the ear, used when the dynamics and culture of work are forced to change because the space for employees and companies to move is limited by rules in order to protect lives. This rule also changes the pattern of group choices jobsseekers or job seekers.
Work location is a factor that is highly considered by jobsseekers, especially in Indonesia. Based on a survey conducted by Microsoft Corp., 83 percent of job seekers in Indonesia want the option of being able to work remotely or remote working. This figure is higher than the results of a global survey, which only reached 73 percent.
In order to meet market demands and adapt to local regulations, various companies began to offer remote working as one of the benefits. However, this one advantage can backfire, both for the company and whoever it recruits. Without a system established and implemented by all parties involved, remote working can be a source of stress and a root cause of decreased productivity.
When all companies are trying to find a working formula remotes or remotely from each other's homes, eFishery has already conducted a trial remote working for several years and perfected the formula working from anywhere or Work From Anywhere.
Work From Anywhere (WFA) or work from anywhere is a concept that gives eFisherians the option to work anywhere convenient, whenever convenient, within the applicable working hours limits.

During these hours, eFisherian is expected to reply chat/emails sent about work and coordination. Of course this is not forcing eFisherians to reply instantly, but to help fellow eFisherians get actual information within a reasonable hour.
Daily & Weekly Huddles
