Taking Remote Working To The Next Level
Remote working is a good deal for both the employee and employer, and over the last 18 months we’ve all learned just how effective it can be. It should come as no surprise that a recent survey of more than 2,000 workers found that a majority want to continue working remotely at least two days per week.
Employees love the idea of getting rid of the daily commute, spending more time with their family, and being more flexible in how and when they work. It’s all benefits for their bosses, too. Just about every study on the subject has highlighted that productivity goes up, not down, when working remotely. Because employees are happier there’s also a lower rate of turnover, meaning that businesses need to deal with the disruption of replacing and training new employees less frequently. And when employees are working remotely, businesses can source talent from all over the world, giving them access to skills and capabilities that weren’t available in the local area.
Making Working From Home A Competitive Advantage
In the mad scramble to get everyone working from home, close enough was good enough, and over the last 18 months we’ve all made do with haphazard and slapstick technology. As working from home becomes a permanent practice, however, it becomes important to be more strategic with it, and design your communications and collaboration around remote work.
