The enormous increase in remote work during the pandemic was a direct response to a temporary health crisis, however many of our local businesses continue to allow an impressive percentage of their employees to telecommute after the pandemic. This is a positive thing.
For organizations and companies who value employee engagement an effective remote work policy is a crucial strategy to be considered. If employees feel loved and valued, they’re more likely to care about the company’s goals. Telecommuting is a fantastic option to ensure business continuity during times of disaster, emergency or shutdown.
Remote work is an excellent way to attract and keep top talent. Research has shown that companies that offer flexible work schedules have lower turnover rates and higher engagement levels as compared to those who don’t. It helps companies cut overhead costs, such as utilities, real estate, and office supplies.
