O impacto do home office em três empresas do ramo alimentício na cidade de Belo Horizonte

Abstract

The home office, in the face of fierce competition and increasing competition between companies of all segments and sizes, has shown itself as a style of work that has been increasingly used and, in recent years, has grown considerably, being considered the trend of the future. With the Covid-19 pandemic, most Brazilian establishments were forced to institute remote work, even though they were not prepared for such a situation. Therefore, the objective of this study was to demonstrate the impact of the home office on three companies in the food sector in the city of Belo Horizonte. The methodology used was, at first, bibliographic research and, then, a comparative case study was developed, in which we tried to analyze three micro-companies in the food industry so that it could be assessed how each of them was impacted, mainly in the financial aspect, with the style of home office work in the face of the current pandemic of COVID-19. The results showed that, in Brazil, remote work is still in its embryonic phase and, therefore, most enterprises have found it difficult to adapt to the new reality. The three companies studied demonstrated this, because despite being in the same industry, each one has its own configuration and what has been noticed is that each one has been reached in different ways (positively and negatively), but they have also learned and created strategies for overcome this phase and think about the future and the tendency to work remotely in the post-pandemic.
