Working remotely can pose challenges such as ineffective communication, lack of office rapport, unreliable tools, and distractions. Clear communication is important for business success but is difficult without face-to-face interaction. Additionally, it is challenging to network and build relationships when not in an office setting regularly. Reliance on tools like Skype can also be problematic if internet connections are unstable or computers need updates. Finding a quiet, dedicated workspace away from distractions is important for focus. Office Evolution aims to address these issues with virtual office solutions that provide professional space, reliable internet, meeting rooms, and 24/7 access to facilities.

1. The Challenges of Working Remotely
Who knew working remotely could throw a wrench in your potential?
Communication
The number one tool needed for success is communication. When working from a remote location, your
communication methods are limited. If you hardly ever put in face time with your coworkers and clients,
it can cause a negative effect in your business potential. When it comes to constant email communication,
so much can get lost in translation. It’s also a challenge to be clear with your written word, and if you
work remotely, you need to keep those skills sharp. When you are submersed in an office setting, you
have the opportunity to communicate with others in a more efficient and practical way. Clear
communication is pivotal for your business and career success.
Office Rapport
When you aren’t in the office every day, you miss out on many opportunities to foster relationships with
the people you work with. It can end up being a lonely environment, which makes it difficult to network
with professionals in your field. Working remotely also sets you at a disadvantage for outside input on
your business ideas. Sure, you started a business, but what helps you grow is networking your ideas to
like­minded professionals.
Unreliable Tools
Picture this, you have a Skype meeting scheduled with three coworkers, and your version of Skype is
incompatible, your computer needs an update, or simply, the internet connection is poor. Working
remotely exposes your business to these types of problems. Dodge this situation by having a designated
space with all the tools readily available to conduct your business.
Distractions
While many of us would enjoy a day or two working from a remote location, what we tend to forget are
all the distractions that come with it. You aren’t just sitting in a stark white room with only your computer
in front of you. The dog is barking, the house phone could be ringing non stop, and we all know how
distracting it can be to try and work from the kitchen table. If you think you are going to find solace from
the interruptions at your local coffee shop, think again. The non­stop jazz music makes it difficult to hold
a conference call. If you don’t have a designated workspace to conduct business, being successful will be
a challenge.
