We are certainly in challenging times around the world that none of us predicted. We have an increasing number of employees working from home. Many people have had to learn how to maximize their productivity while working from home. We have found that remote workers achieved an overall improvement in their performance as compared to in-office workers in a recent study. It was achieved by working longer periods that resulted from more calls in the same time. Productivity, work satisfaction, and turnover improved as well. Remote working environments are now popular mainly because of technology advancements, changes in society and the economy. Teams have learned to embrace our new work environment that is enabled by faster internet services, smart phones and laptops, as well as secure communication like instant messaging applications. The remote working environment not only benefits employers but also employees. It can help reduce overhead by having a talented remote workforce. Teams can now share documents, videos, teleconferencing for effective communication. Remote workers are now able to perform job functions from any location around the world saving a considerable amount of time. Employers can attract talent by offering to work remotely to gain a competitive edge over companies that don’t have the option.
