The landscape of the working world has changed dramatically in recent years, particularly hurried along by the pandemic of course.
If you’re a business that’s ridden through the storm of this hopefully, once-in-a-lifetime event, then you’ll understand how your business has had to adapt. However, for any businesses looking to hire remote staff for the first time, it can feel like a challenging one to navigate.
However, it’s just like any other recruitment process, except chances are, you might not see this employee in person that often. Here are some of the benefits that come with hiring remote staff in 2023.
You’ll have more productivity in your workforce
One of the major benefits that many businesses see within their workforce when it comes to hiring remote workers or putting them in a remote working environment, is that they’re more productive. When they’re working in their own space, sure there might be more distractions but there’s a lot more flexibility in their working ability.
You might find that your staff has become a lot more productive as a result of being able to work from home, whether that’s all of the time or for X amount of days per week or month.
You can save money on overheads
A good benefit of hiring remote staff in 2023 is that you can often save money on overheads. These overheads could be the cost of leasing an office space. Perhaps you can get rid of the office completely or downsize to a co-working space with other companies in the building.
The cost of utilities might be greatly reduced seeing as the workers aren’t in the office all the time in some cases.
Being able to save some money is definitely a great perk to have and one that won’t be sniffed at as a business owner.
The talent pool will expand
When you hire remote positions, you open your business up to a wider talent pool. For example, if you’re a medical practice, you might wish to look for a remote administrative assistant.
Whether that employee is based locally or internationally means you’ve got the choice of both. You’ll likely attract more talent from across the pond and in a larger volume by making it a remote-only or hybrid role.
Workers will save on their commuting time
When hiring remote staff, you will likely find that a lot of time is saved during those times when they’d typically be traveling to work. You don’t need to worry about staff running late or being late due to travel problems. All they’ll need to do is roll out of bed, get dressed, and log onto their computers to start work!
Turnover is likely to decrease
Finally, a great perk as a business in 2023, is that your turnover is likely to decrease. That’s a big win for your reputation as a business but also when it comes to reducing the costs that usually happen when needed to re-recruit positions of those who’ve left.
Hopefully, with these benefits known, you’ll be willing to embrace remote working this year and beyond.
