Remote working is on the rise and reflects the pace of change within society as to the way that we work.
The opportunity offered by technology to enable remote working, and the increasing expectation amongst employees of consideration of their wellbeing, and a balance between work and life, create forces driving a rise in remote working, as well as flexible and agile working approaches to working.
The rewards of remote working can be seen in four key areas;
Lower stress and better work/life balance
Studies suggest that remote workers have lower stress and improved relationships and more opportunity, for example, to exercise, and for general work/life balance, and can, therefore, be better engaged and motivated.
You can do at home what you can do in the office, and it is cheaper
Technology affords the chance to work effectively and with great performance, through wifi, and communication networks and tools. In addition, there is no commuting time and cost, and fewer business overheads due to less need for office space, and there is a smarter approach to the use of office space.
Remote working can reduce attrition
Retention is improved according to research by remote working, but equally so is attrition reduced. Remote workers are often keen to show the success and benefit of the working arrangement and show great commitment and deliver high-quality work.
Increased productivity
We could say the fundamental reward of remote working as an integral part of the way work is undertaken, according to evidence, is that employee productivity and engagement is increased. Most studies conducted report that employees, “were not only happier and less likely to quit but also more productive” than a group working in an office.
