Remote Employees are often so grateful for the opportunity to work remotely that they actually give more time to their organizations as they balance their personal lives. With the Covid-19 Pandemic, the world of work saw an acceleration in the need and capability of working remotely. People Leaders are needed in every level of the organization that can balance the needs of their organizations and the Work-Life Balance needs of their workers. Over half of current jobs today can be done remotely at least part time and almost 90% of workers express their desire to work from home at least 3 days a week. In addition, remote workers need to improve their skill set because the competitive market is not just local, but could include people in other states. Based on Chapter 7 of our book, The New World of Work: People Leadership in The Digital Age, both the challenges and the benefits of a Remote Workforce.

“Remote Work is a practice where employees don't have to physically be in the job. They can be in some other location than the Home Office. That doesn't necessarily have to be their home. It could be their RV, it could be camping, as long as they can get through their work. It could be at a café in Paris, as long as they have good internet connection. But the key is, employees have to prove their value and they have to benefit their company, As long as the employees can add value and benefit their company, then this is a Win-Win for everybody. 58% of workers are now able to work from home part-time. 87% of workers would like to have flex time and work 3 days from home. The benefit to organizations are that they have to lease less office space, which is very expensive. The utilities that come along with the office space. But also they are now able to get employees that could be in another state. It gives the employers the ability to reach the best workers regardless of where they may be. Remote workers need to improve their skill set because the competitive market is not just local, but could include people in other states. If owners could hire the best worker on the planet, and that person happens to live in France, why wouldn't they hire them as a remote worker. We can simulate so much of the remote atmosphere where we couldn't in the past. We have high speed internet in our houses and video platforms now. Corporations need to provide their workers that flexibility, but they also need to stay connected.”
