Remote Work is the Future
Remote work affords employers and employees more flexibility. Being in the comfort of your home, with a more established work-life balance, and without the stresses of commuting daily are a few benefits of working remotely.
Times are changing, and many employees for various organizations are working remotely. Since the start of the pandemic, this has given businesses another reason to transition to operating digitally.
Mike believes that remote work is here to stay and is a win-win for employers and employees. Because of the flexibility afforded to employees, research proves that this leads to increased productivity and improved longevity in workers.
Although remote work is the future, Mike believes that in-person interactions are incredibly crucial in a workforce. Additionally, creating hybrid offices where workers go once or twice a week is a practice that Mike believes will be prevalent shortly.
Remote working will affect workers in several ways, and Mike thinks that more companies are beginning to realize the benefits of transitioning to a remote business structure. In the near future Mike predicts surges of companies will cater their entire business strategies to satisfy their new remote workforce.
