This document discusses promoting a remote workforce through the use of modern technology. It notes that technology has made workers more mobile and flexible, requiring companies to adapt office structures accordingly. It recommends forming team hubs to maintain engagement as offices shift from full-time to remote. Utilizing the latest technology, like wireless tools and virtual private networks, will help workers become more self-sufficient and reduce office costs.

5. Virtual Support
Role of a virtual assistant
Remote offices will still rely heavily on individuals adept at bringing together the appropriate human
resources for a given project. This is where the role of a virtual assistant comes into play.
To efficiently and effectively operate in a remote workforce, a virtual assistant will be able to offer
mobile solutions and resources required to do their jobs. Virtual assistants can also help with but not
limited to the following:
• facilitate the interaction among teams
• project coordination
• repository of business information
• dissemination of best practices
• assist with orientation of new staff employees
• connect remote staff with each other and management
• assist with developing remote workforce policies and guidelines
• coordinate the use of virtual equipment for meetings and conferences
Depending on the office structure, the virtual assistant can also provide on-site support. The role of a
virtual assistant is flexibile and designed to help meet the needs of today’s business environment with
cost-effective administrative solutions.

6. Closing
Shape the new remote
workforce strategy
With emerging technologies, businesses will have greater means to seamlessly
work off–site. There will be no geographical boundaries as the new work con-
cept and resources shift around the globe. Increasingly, companies will depend
on virtual administrative support and commercial spaces that are fully wired
and readily adaptable to the needs of the remote workforce. To fit with market
conditions, majority of those in the small business environment will turn to using
portable wireless tools to communicate from any location. Investment in mobile
and portable technology will provide substantial savings on traditional overhead
expenses such as administrative office space, al a carte benefits, and facilities
maintenance.
While technology will make the workforce more flexible, there will still be the need
for some sort of support hub. Finding the right fit for your business will be essential
in taking shape of the new office concept. Ensure that you choose the most ap-
propriate virtual assistant to provide your business with the solutions to keep your
business on track as well as focused on the strategic elements for greater ROI!
