REMOTE WORKING ADVANTAGES

• Decreased or eliminated commutes

  Remote workers tend to spend less time traveling to and from their work location, especially if they opt to work in a home office. This often means that remote worker regains significant time in their lives each week. Someone who would otherwise spend an hour commuting each way would save ten hours a week by working at home, in addition to saving on transportation costs.

• Enhanced business continuity

  Virtual teams are often more naturally adaptable because they do not need to be in the same location to do their jobs. This can be advantageous for business continuity planning, particularly in any unexpected or emergency scenarios where employees would suddenly be unable to operate from within the workplace.

• Reduced need for Office space

  Organizations with a significant remote workforce usually require less physical office space, which means savings and greater long-term flexibility.

• Recruiting and hiring advantages

  Hiring a remote workforce can greatly expand a manager’s pool of potential candidates because they don’t need to be local and/or the company does not need to offer expensive relocation packages. This can be particularly beneficial to any recruiter or hiring manager operating in an especially competitive local labor market or facing skills shortages for particular roles

• Increased Productivity

  Remote workers are generally more productive than employees who work in an office setting. That’s because the ability to set their work schedule allows employees to work during the hours they are more productive, instead of the standard 9 to 5

• Improved Employee Retention Rate

  Today, companies that don’t offer remote work opportunities have a huge disadvantage. Not only are these businesses less attractive to new job seekers, but they can also lose their existing employees who will be looking for remote work opportunities elsewhere.
