WFH The New Norm
As businesses and employees come to terms with the new world could the changes that have now become the ‘norm’ be long lasting?
The expansions of ‘in home technology’ and ‘video conference call’ have become essential to allow many businesses to run as normal through this difficult time. But could they become more than just a temporary solution?
We feel that there are a number of benefits to this way of working that could drive some long term benefits.
Sustainability, Productivity & Inclusivity
Becoming a sustainable business could be helped by the new ways of working. Prior to the current situation employees travelled around the country and across the waters to attend meetings. , Much, if not all, of this travel can easily be replaced with video conference calls.
Time and productivity of an employee will improve. There could be more meetings in less time, leaving more space to develop staff skill sets and work on business growth.
Working from home opens the door for a much-improved work/life balance, allowing the business to be more inclusive to employees. Plus working from home is proven to increase productivity whilst leading to a healthier and happier lifestyle for staff. Becoming a flexible working business allows you to employ the best staff no matter where they are based!
