May Edition - Austin Tech Leaders Digest with Coltech

So happy to see you back here for another edition of my?Austin Tech Leaders Digest.?Thank you for all the support regarding my nomination for EY's Entrepreneur Of The Year award in Austin.

One of the most obvious recruitment trends for 2022 is?remote working. A McKinsey & Company?report?indicated that the pandemic dramatically accelerated the transition to remote and hybrid work. It has been a difficult transition for many organizations, but they have found remote work to give their employees and the company significant benefits.?

But what does this mean for tech?

Remote Working- The Future Of Tech

It's safe to say that many aspects of our daily lives have changed since the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic. And nowhere are these adjustments more evident than in the world of work. With many businesses suddenly forced to rely on their teams working remotely, these organizations realized that this approach offered a whole range of benefits once the initial adjustment period ended. This means that many businesses are keen to continue remote working practices, even after the pandemic threat is fully behind us.

Those looking to hire need no longer be constrained by the talent pool in their local area and instead can reach out to the best candidates, wherever they may happen to be living.

Opening Up New Opportunities

One key advantage of having remote teams is that they can be located anywhere. Whilst this seems like an obvious point, it's crucial from the perspective of management looking to fill key positions. Those looking to hire need no longer be constrained by the talent pool in their local area and instead can reach out to the best candidates, wherever they may happen to be living.

This is a unique benefit for those companies in the fast-moving technology sector, where attracting quality candidates with the right sets of skills is imperative for success. Indeed, with talent shortages in several areas of this industry, being able to open up vacancies without geographical constraints can be the difference between filling a key position or having a skills gap in your business. Thanks to the advanced cloud-based working platforms now available, even candidates living in different time zones can be hired with confidence.

A Cost-Efficient Option

Choosing to make remote working practices a permanent part of your culture makes financial sense, too. With fewer employees coming into the business premises every day, you can cut down on expenses, including the rental and running of large office spaces. With the money you'll save on heating and powering a big workplace, you can plough more funds into resourcing areas that will help your business grow, such as R&D or investment in the latest tech that can transform your processes and operations.

...working remotely offers plenty of perks for staff, too. Without spending time and money on their daily commute, the team will achieve a better work-life balance straight away.

Good For Employees

Of course, working remotely offers plenty of perks for staff, too. Without spending time and money on their daily commute, the team will achieve a better work-life balance straight away. Furthermore, remote working naturally accommodates a more flexible approach, making it a much better fit for those employees with family or other outside responsibilities. Studies have shown that the flexibility afforded to remote working doesn't mean a loss of productivity- instead, managers are seeing a reduction in staff turnover as employee well-being levels increase.
