As flexible work arrangements continue to grow in popularity, remote work is setting itself apart as the most popular approach. Businesses can enjoy significant benefits by offering remote work programs to their employees. However, setting up systems to manage this type of work can be challenging.
Smart HR can provide your organization with the expertise you need to develop and implement a successful plan for remote work that does not compromise on performance.
Our Remote Work Management Services
Here’s how we can help you get the most out of your remote work efforts.
Identifying Suitable Positions
Our team can assess the positions in your firm to identify which ones will be suitable for remote work and which are better served by employees with a physical presence in the office.
Creating Guidelines
Carrying out work outside of the office environment comes with a different set of concerns than in-house work. We’ll collaborate with your management team to establish a structure and guidelines for work that is done remotely.
Equipment And Technology Concerns
We will help your firm identify the technology and equipment that remote workers will need to be successful away from the office. This may involve, for example, setting up laptops with proper safety measures and instructing employees on safe practices.
Education
Our team will provide your organization and remote employees with education and guidance related to some of the logistical issues, insurance concerns and other obstacles that businesses commonly face as they set up remote work programs. We will also identify any areas of concern that are specific to your business and offer proactive solutions.
Training
We’ll train your leaders on how to manage remote workers so they remain engaged and productive. We will also help you ensure they continue to feel like members of team, even if they are working from an entirely different city or state.
Benefits of Offering Employees Remote Work Opportunities
Here are a few of the ways your business can benefit by offering remote work opportunities to employees.
Reduced Expenses
Adopting a remote work environment allows your business to save money, particularly when it comes to the overhead associated with having a physical office. Although you may continue to have some staff reporting to work in person, you may enjoy savings on office supplies, equipment and utilities.
Greater Productivity
Employees who do not spend hours commuting to and from work tend to approach their workday from a fresher perspective, which can drive productivity. In addition, there will be fewer distractions related to office politics that can hamper productivity.
Decreased Turnover
Replacing employees who leave your business can be a costly endeavor when you factor in the lost productivity and costs of hiring a replacement. For many employees, remote work boosts job satisfaction, motivating them to stay with your company for a longer time.
Expanded Hiring Pool
If talent is limited in your local area or your hours of operation are unfavorable, offering remote work can allow you to access a wider pool of qualified candidates.
