Remote work offers many benefits to employers. It increases productivity by reducing office distractions, allowing employees to focus more on their work. Higher productivity leads to increased revenues. It also saves costs by requiring less office space and eliminating commuting expenses. Additionally, remote work improves employee satisfaction through greater flexibility, reducing turnover. To realize these advantages, employers should define a written agreement with remote workers that outlines communication methods, work schedules, and the duration of remote work arrangements.

1. WHY YOU SHOULD ALLOW YOUR TEAM
TO WORK REMOTELY?

2. WHY YOU SHOULD
ALLOW YOUR TEAM
TO WORK
REMOTELY?
Remote work is without doubt the future of work. However, up to now, not everyone has
the privilege to enjoy the benefits of remote work yet. The reason why is that firms often,
unjustifiably, associate remote work with lazy employees working from bed. As a matter
of fact, remote workers are everything but lazy. Studies have shown that they are far
more motivated and productive than their peers working in offices.
But that’s not all. There are far more benefits which are related to remote work. If you
are asking yourself whether to allow your employees to work remotely, here are three
which are particularly important to you.

3.  Higher revenues through an increase in productivity
 The first benefit is revenue. An increase in revenue which results from more productivity
is the main reason why remote work is extremely beneficial for firms. But why is it, that
productivity increases if employees work at home? Just think about it, how much of your
dedicated work time do you actually spend working at your office? Most certainly not
that much, right? The truth is that an office space provides a wide source of distraction.
Noise, quick chats with co-workers, extended coffee breaks and numerous meetings are
just a few examples. By reducing these sources, employees can spend more time
working. Also, without distraction, the quality of their time working increases. Having
less distraction means more focus and thus, more outcome.

4. Costs savings through less office space
The second benefit are costs. If you allow your employees to work from home you require
much less office spaces. Therefore, you have less expenses. Further, reimbursements for
commuting become redundant and costs for equipment decrease as well.
Less turnover through high employee satisfaction
A third reason is employee turnover. Remote work, unsurprisingly, yields a lot of flexibility
for employees. Because of less or no time commuting, remote workers have more free
time and can focus more on the things that matter to them. Moreover, traffic and public
transportation can be avoided.

5. Define a contractual agreement
To benefit from the advantages mentioned before, it is particularly important to define a
written agreement with your employee. Here is what you should discuss about.
Communication
Set regular meetings and phone calls to oversee the work progress and to boost team
work. Besides, define how communication will take place. Moreover, the medium of
communication and the reachability are to be outlined as well.
Work schedule and duration of remote work
Agree on a work schedule. Define the days and times an employee is working remotely. If
needed, agree on tools to track working hours and work progress. Additionally, define
the time horizon for remote work and how to extend or terminate it.
