The Future of Work: Why more businesses are going remote
In today's increasingly connected world, it's no surprise that more businesses are considering hiring remote employees. After all, there are many...
Competition for talent is heating up, and businesses will need to employ new strategies in order to attract and retain the best employees in 2022. You’ve probably heard already that the employment landscape is shifting in Australia. One in five Australian's quit their jobs in the last year citing reasons of personal fulfilment, purpose or meaning, lack of career growth, impact to mental health, poor pay and benefits, poor work-life balance, burnout and feeling like a fresh start.
So What Can You Do To Keep Your Best Employees?
Employee expectations have changed. Many workers have utilised remote working arrangements during pandemic lockdowns, and despite a desire to return to the more social office environment, workers also wish to retain the flexibility and autonomy that comes with hybrid work arrangements. Providing effective work from home (WFH) and work from anywhere (WFA) can make all the difference. Companies are looking to offer perks and improve culture in an effort to retain staff.
Employees are no longer looking for traditional 9-5 jobs. They want more flexibility in their work schedule. Businesses that can provide hybrid work arrangements will be in a better position to attract and retain top talent. However, working from home can sometimes be seen as a ‘day off’, unless your business has the right tools and strategies in place to maintain engagement throughout the work day.
Every business will need a hybrid work plan that encompasses policy, technology, and spaces. Who will be able to work remotely, and who might have to come in? How often? And importantly, what tools do they need.
Telepresence robots allow employees to stay connected with their team, no matter where they are located.
Your employees can work from anywhere, and maintain the flexibility they crave. Allowing your employees to 'tele-in' to a robot device is a far more engaging experience than video conferencing. A robot device gives the user autonomy and a physical presence in the office, allowing 'watercooler' conversations and office banter. Using a telepresence robot requires greater engagement from remote employee’s than conference calls or video, leading to more productive collaborations and meetings, and more effective hybrid work teams.
Creating a hybrid work team will require some tweaking of company culture. Work with staff to develop flexible hybrid workplace solutions. Depending on the sharing arrangements you may set guidelines telepresence staff to:
