Unlocking the Benefits of a Modern, Mobile Workforce

Even before the 2020’s, the concept of ‘work’ transcended office spaces. Technology and changing work dynamics ensured businesses could embrace the idea of a more mobile workforce, and the benefits are clear – greater productivity, more control over work/life balance and much, much more.

So, if you haven’t already, here are the benefits your business could be enjoying if you embrace a more mobile way of working.

Cost Savings

A mobile workforce can cut costs significantly. For most, the key cost saving (a need for a traditional office space) still remains. However, a hybrid strategy still cuts costs on utilities, maintenance and office supplies, as well as employee costs like commuting.

Flexibility and Work-Life Balance

Speaking of employee benefits, the flexibility a remote or hybrid working strategy provides can be invaluable to your team. No more rigid 9-to-5 schedule that childcare and other personal commitments have to be worked around. Instead, employees have the freedom to work from anywhere, empowering them balance their work and personal life and work during their most productive hours, for increased job satisfaction and morale.

Increased Productivity

Despite what many assume, working remotely often leads to increased productivity. Some find bustling office environments distracting, while others may prefer working from the office, depending on their circumstances. At least having the option of both home and office ensures employees can remain comfortable and as productive as possible.

A More Diverse Team

If your business isn’t restricted to the commutable area around your office, you can tap into a broader talent pool from further afar – even internationally! All so you can recruit top talent from anywhere and use technology to keep them connected, bringing fresh perspectives, skills, and experiences to the table to help your business thrive.

?

Business Continuity and Resilience

Without meaning to be alarmist, COVID-19 won’t be the last challenge that every business needs to adapt to. However, it did highlight the importance of business continuity and resilience. And, by definition, mobile workforces are more agile and better equipped to adapt to sudden unpredictable challenges to remote work, whether natural disasters, health crises or anything else, ensuring minimal disruption to your operation.

Environmental Sustainability

Environmental sustainability is an important aspect of modern businesses as well, all moving to a more carbon-neutral way of living and doing business. With fewer employees commuting to the office, you can do your part to reduce carbon emissions and traffic congestion and adopt eco-friendly practices, like digital document management and virtual meetings, to minimise your carbon footprint even further.

Entire economies are seeing the undeniable benefits of a mobile workforce, and if you don’t follow, you risk losing your top performers and slowly losing your advantage over your competitors.
