Forty years ago, most office workers woke up, ate breakfast, and went to work. At 4:50 pm, they packed up, grabbed their briefcases and motored home.
As the world continues to grow and the workplace changes at a blinding pace, working remote from home has shifted from a concept to the common place for businesses of all shapes and sizes and from industries that include hospitals, accounting firms, financial services and advertising agencies.
The ability to work remotely presents numerous positive advantages. For example, instead of having to hire multiple full-time employees, house them in an office, provide parking places, coffee services, etc., many companies hire part time workers who can work remotely – there’s no need for building more cubicles, adding computers or renting more office space.
Working from home has a great appeal to the next generation of workers: the millenials. They’ve been brought up on computers and think and work differently than any other generation before them. They’re not your normal 9-5 workers!
Offering the ability to work from home, whenever they can, is a huge plus for a company – and might be the determining factor for hiring young talent away from a competitor! In addition, this ability positions your company as being aware of the current trends and smart enough to use them correctly.
Working remotely greatly reduces sick days and lost time due to inclement weather – anyone on the East Coast remember the Snowmageddon? Even if the roads are closed, your employees can work from home, keeping projects on time and profits up.
At Teltek, we offer several services that can help your office make the transition to working remotely – whether it’s from an employee’s home office or a sales force that is constantly traveling on the road, but needs to have instant access to your company’s database.
