It is no secret that remote work is here to stay. While the work from home model began out of necessity during the pandemic, it has become a preference for many due to the flexibility and work/life balance it provides. The long-term shift towards remote work represents a positive shift for both the employee and the employer. Here are some reasons why it also makes sense from a business perspective.
ACCESS TO MORE TALENT
Remote work frees you from geographic confines, unlocking a much larger talent pool. You can hire the best and brightest individuals from anywhere in the world, allowing you to improve your overall skillset and cut training costs.
EMPLOYEE RETENTION
Keeping your employees happy is the key to a successful team, especially in the age of the Great Resignation. Work from home models have become increasingly popular among employees since flexibility emerged as a top priority for today’s workforce. According to a study conducted by McKinsey, when people have the chance to work flexibly, 87 percent of them take it. Remote work can reduce turnover rates and help you hold onto top talent.
INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY
A survey by ConnectSolutions found that 77% of those who work remotely at least a few times per month show increased productivity, with 30% doing more work in less time and 24% doing more work in the same period of time. With the ability to work in an environment of their choosing, while also avoiding the stress of commuting or office politics, remote workers focus their attention on their jobs and get more done.
BOOST YOUR BOTTOM LINE
Remote teams allow you to save money and boost your profitability in many ways. Access to a wider talent pool allows you to hire top talent that costs less to train. You can also cut operational costs by hiring from countries with more advantageous payroll laws. Finally, removing a physical office space from the equation saves you money on real estate.
