The office environment is changing day by day. The way people work also changes. The perspective of the office management also changes. Now every office sector wants their empoyee to follow smart work, that is achieving the goal in shortest time with minimum cost and maximum efficiency. The concept of working hours after hours is slowly getting replaced by the trend of smart work. But can the concept of smart work totally replace the hard work?

I completely agree, we all want more money and not work as hard sadly. I think people are lazy not smarter.

@ricki_911 I'm not agree to that. i thinck that if you are satisfied with salary then you do your job properly without being pushed back. And i thinck that are people verry smart which do thinck's which others can not do becouse are smarter.

No no, don't get me wrong...Smart work doesn't mean that we try to work less. The type of work we do now requires much more mental efficiency. I'm talking about this in general. Take the example of a bank. Earlier to maintain a cash register there were large record books.So the person at the cash would have spent lot of time tallying each and every transactions there .Now computers do it. So he has got some other responsibility to promote the bank instead of spending time behind the cash. I don't know if I'm able to put the concept of smart work properly or not.

...there are many types of work intellectual work and physical work. both are equally heavy but can not be made of the same types of people. Those who were trained to be doctors can not lift blocks and those who do streets can not give cancer treatments.

@pufitzamison But I think when we work in a smarter way we get to think more.Because not only we think about the output quantify we also take in consideration the efficiency and shorest time taken.

I'm considering the organized sector jobs.That's why I mentioned office employee. But hard work doesn't mean always that it is physical lifting jobs. See now most of the things are computerised in offices.So employees doesn't need to do those jobs again and again.Hence their time is saved there.So they can plan for the strategies how they can increase the output by reorganising the available resources.

It has been tried and failed, what you need is hard workers who are paid a good wage.

I am agree with the smart work idea. since the digital becomes phenomenal, the competitive rising up. we need to more flexible, fast,efficient, accurate so we can achieve goals in the tight deadlines. the quality and quantity will accomplish more if we tend to smart work than hard work.

nothing can replace smart work but a hard worker may at times get disgruntled with smart worker getting off hook so easily
