3 Benefits of a Hybrid Workforce

Post-pandemic, remote and hybrid working has become a norm for many businesses, including small businesses and corporate ones – with many jobseekers looking specifically for hybrid roles.

With good reason, hybrid working has become a popular choice for many companies, so here are a number of benefits of a remote workforce…

1. Increased Job Satisfaction

Remote work can lead to increased job satisfaction for employees. Studies have shown that remote workers often report higher levels of job satisfaction, as they are able to work in a comfortable environment that is free from distractions and interruptions.

An Accenture report found that workers prefer a hybrid working model 83% of the time, therefore, not only will a hybrid/remote workforce improve your current employee’s satisfaction rate, but also make your business look more attractive when recruiting.

2. Reduced Overhead Costs

With a remote workforce, companies can save on overhead costs such as office space, utilities, and supplies. This can be especially beneficial for small businesses or startups that may not have the resources to maintain a physical office space.

Nowadays, there are plenty of work-friendly cafes or offices that allow for low-cost ‘desk-hopping’ or even free use.

3. Access to a Larger Pool of Talent

By having a remote workforce, companies can access a larger pool of talent. Rather than being limited to hiring individuals within a specific geographic area, companies can hire the best candidate for the job, regardless of where they are located.

This is a great method of attracting overseas talent, which is also a brilliant way of getting started on a global business – if you don’t want to pigeonhole your business to the UK alone, look towards a remote workforce.
