Remote Work

The Future of Remote Work, What’s Next?

25 March 2022 by Sara Wahba

Remote work is here to stay. With companies moving to a remote workforce, we will see more and more of the world becoming virtual. From this comes many benefits, but also many challenges. Companies will invest in the right training and tools to make this workplace transition smooth for their employees and the clients they serve.

The future of work looks bright as more companies begin investing in flexible schedules for workers who need uninterrupted time at home or want to be able to take weekends off from their desk jobs to give themselves some well-earned rest.

What is remote work?

It is defined as any form of employment that includes using technology to connect a worker to a customer or employer to work from anywhere. An employee primarily works from home or other locations away from their employer.

This type of work will grow due to flexibility and freedom. For this reason, employees can maintain a better work-life balance and better adapt to changes in their families or personal lives without major interruptions.

According to the World Bank, by 2020, it is predicted that there will be 300 million remote workers. By 2027, this could rise to 3 billion employees around the globe. The world's population is expected to increase by 2 billion people by 2050.

Due to this extra demand for work, more workers are likely to work as "digital nomads" who can be based anywhere around the world. This increase in virtual workers brings a new way of working and technology to improve productivity and engagement.

The Need for Companies To Invest in the Right Tools and Training

According to the Society for Human Resource Management, "remote worker" is one of five core job titles that includes the following: "virtual worker," "telecommuter," "distributed workforce," and "digital nomad." Many companies are now offering the opportunity for employees to get their work done from anywhere. This technology has been a game-changer in how business is conducted and is putting a new spin on what it means to be working as companies continue to invest in the right technology and training, employee satisfaction increases. Crucial to remote working success is the need for companies to invest in the right tools and training. This is not without its challenges, but it is an opportunity for companies to redefine how they serve customers and put employees first. It helps an employer thrive by reducing costs, increasing productivity, and uplifting employee engagement. The most important aspect of remote work for organizations is that employees can be at home or on vacation without worrying about their work as it will be accessible to them. Training makes people feel empowered and able to do their assigned jobs. They will be more productive and satisfied, leading to a great sense of job security. Companies must invest in the right tools for their employees. Using the right tools will make it easier for them to get their jobs are done from home, decreasing mistakes, improving efficiency, and happier employees. A great tool for remote workers is using a screen-sharing service. A screen-sharing service allows employees to conduct a video conference with someone else in the office. They can connect their computers and collaborate on documents, videos, and presentations from anywhere. By using even more tools such as secure Skype meetings, employees will be able to work their jobs anywhere. This will be a big factor because most employees will want to be able to not only work remotely but also collaborate with coworkers in the same space.

How will remote working affect the future?

With more companies adopting remote work, digital nomads will become a regular part of our workforce. The type of workers these companies are looking for is the same as any other industry- someone who can be efficient and productive in their job. However, what is strived for with this type of working model is flexible, allowing the employee to have a better work-life balance while still producing results that they need to produce to keep their job. Employers will also have to change the way they work, allowing them to be more flexible in their schedules. For the workers to get the same amount of work done as they would have while working in an office- the employer should strive to provide tools to help their workers achieve that. These tools may include a new software system or a new way of working with technology within their environment. However, it is important for employers not simply to supply technology but also to train employees on its use. This can be a challenging task, as technology can change very rapidly. Employers need to be willing to make these changes within their workplaces.

What does the future hold for flexible working?

Many employers are adopting more flexible work styles to retain and attract top talent. Working remotely is becoming an increasingly common solution, and the ability to work from home has created more opportunities for workers. This also means that employees can be located closer to the markets they serve, which also aids companies operationally and financially as they benefit from lower overheads, better access to talent, and reduced travel costs. With companies moving to a virtual workforce, we will see more and more of the world becoming virtual. From this comes many benefits, but also many challenges. Companies will invest in the right training and tools to make this workplace transition smooth for their employees and the clients they serve. The future of work looks bright as more companies begin investing inflexible schedules for workers who need uninterrupted time at home or want to be able to take weekends off from their desk jobs to give themselves some well-earned rest. Business leaders are willing to invest in the right tools and training to ensure that the transition from a fixed workplace to a remote one will not be a problem for employees. 93% of business leaders stated that training is very important in their company. This could mean anything from coding, design, or language skills. In the future, we will see a focus on flexibility. This is the future of work; however, companies need to invest in tools and training for employees if they want them engaged and productive.
