WHY YOU SHOULD ALLOW YOUR TEAM TO WORK REMOTELY?

• Remote work is without doubt the future of work.
  However, up to now, not everyone has the
  privilege to enjoy the benefits of remote work
  yet. The reason why is that firms often,
  unjustifiably, associate remote work with lazy
  employees working from bed. As a matter of fact,
  remote workers are everything but lazy. Studies
  have shown that they are far more motivated and
  productive than their peers working in offices.
• But thats not all. There are far more benefits
  which are related to remote work. If you are
  asking yourself whether to allow your employees
  to work remotely, here are three which are
  particularly important to you.

• Higher revenues through an increase in
  productivity
• The first benefit is revenue. An increase in
  revenue which results from more productivity is
  the main reason why remote work is extremely
  beneficial for firms. But why is it, that
  productivity increases if employees work at home?
  Just think about it, how much of your dedicated
  work time do you actually spend working at your
  office? Most certainly not that much, right? The
  truth is that an office space provides a wide
  source of distraction. Noise, quick chats with
  co-workers, extended coffee breaks and numerous
  meetings are just a few examples. By reducing
  these sources, employees can spend more time
  working. Also, without distraction, the quality
  of their time working increases. Having less
  distraction means more focus and thus, more
  outcome.

Costs savings through less office space

• The second benefit are costs. If you allow your
  employees to work from home you require much
  less office spaces. Therefore, you have less
  expenses. Further, reimbursements for commuting
  become redundant and costs for equipment decrease
  as well.
• Less turnover through high employee satisfaction
  
• A third reason is employee turnover. Remote work,
  unsurprisingly, yields a lot of flexibility for
  employees. Because of less or no time commuting,
  remote workers have more free time and can focus
  more on the things that matter to them. Moreover,
  traffic and public transportation can be avoided.

• Define a contractual agreement
• To benefit from the advantages mentioned before,
  it is particularly important to define a written
  agreement with your employee. Here is what you
  should discuss about.
•  
• Communication
• Set regular meetings and phone calls to oversee
  the work progress and to boost team work.
  Besides, define how communication will take
  place. Moreover, the medium of communication and
  the reachability are to be outlined as well.
•  
• Work schedule and duration of remote work
• Agree on a work schedule. Define the days and
  times an employee is working remotely. If needed,
  agree on tools to track working hours and work
  progress. Additionally, define the time horizon
  for remote work and how to extend or terminate
  it.
