Since the onset of the pandemic, many organisations have encouraged their employees to work from home. There’s a significant emphasis globally on remote work, from small and medium-sized enterprises to large companies like Amazon, Twitter, Google, and Microsoft.

Working remotely isn’t a new phenomenon. It also won’t solve all the staffing problems driven by COVID, but the benefits to organisations, employees, and even our environment alike are plain to see.

• expanded efficiency
• a higher degree of adaptability
• lower overheads
• global talent pool
• less or no commuting
• lower carbon emissions

What about talent acquisition in remote work?

Organisations are no longer limited geographically when accessing a talent pool with a remote workforce. As a result, it’s possible to draw in team members based solely on their capabilities and appropriateness for jobs – irrespective of where they reside—permitting organisations to seek the very best talent.

Working remotely also significantly enhances the sense of global cooperation within geographically diverse teams. So, whether out of necessity or preference, working remotely remote working arrangements are acting as a great equaliser in today’s workforce, to the benefit of both companies and employees alike!
