It is predicted that there may not be any conventional office in the next few decades. This prediction is making sense now more than ever before. This is because companies have learnt from the pandemic lockdown that employees can actually work from other spaces successfully without being present in a regular office space.
The good news is that working from home or remotely confers great benefits to an employer and even the employees. Some of such benefits include the following;
1: Increased Productivity
With technology, people are more available and connected than ever. As a result, the workforce is as productive working from home just as they were performing same duties from a conventional office.
A recent study conducted by Soft Choice showed that more than 70 percent of respondents said they won’t think twice accepting a job offer from a company that implements flexible work schedule, and would ditch their current company that operates rigid work culture – work must be done from the office. More than 62 percent of the respondents in this study confirmed that their productivity level spiked more when they work from home than from a regular office. According to these remote workers, innovations in cloud and mobile technology have contributed immensely to this achievement.
2: Stress Reduction
Indeed, it’s a lot of stress waking up earlier than necessary, just to prepare for work and get going in order to beat the traffic and other possible hitches to getting to the office on time. Then, the tasks of the day are there to add to the stress and pressure.
The same hassle is involved at the close of the day – commuting back home and this involves a number of hours for those who live far away from their offices. This day-to-day occurrence exerts a lot of stress on employees and may have effect on both the health and wellbeing of people. In fact, a consistent stressful lifestyle such as this can reduce the lifespan of those involved.
On the contrary, when people are allowed to work flexibly – working from home most of the times and just once in a while from the office, it helps to minimize stress substantially, hence possible health challenges that come with stress.
3: Huge Cost Saving
Obviously, when companies resort to remote work culture, they will save more from the huge costs of renting and equipping an office space. The savings will be ploughed back in growing and expanding their brands. Cost savings from remote working is also derived from elimination of overhead costs.
Employees also save costs of commuting when they are allowed to work more from their home spaces. It’s a win-win situation for both the employers and their employees.
Finally, a company can save even much more by implementing outsourcing increasingly when it comes to hiring helping hands.
