Work from home, hybrid working became concepts that we hear all the time. Recently, as vaccines spread, some companies started to return to office.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, the number of people working remotely is significantly higher than before the pandemic. Will it always be like that?\u00a0<strong>Is remote working here to stay? Our answer is yes.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In today\u2019s business world, an innovation must be\u00a0<strong>economically sustainable<\/strong>\u00a0to last long. Both employees and employers should come to an agreement that it is good for both parties.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research conducted by the Pew Research Center\u00a0shows that\u00a091% of participants want to continue working as remote workers.\u00a0Even executives choose to work remotely, even if their preference is not as high as employees. What is the main reason behind their preference? Let\u2019s look at why.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_No_Commute\"><\/span>1.

Lockdown forced remote working and showed them it was not a must. Businesses can continue their way even if employees are not physically present at the office.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commuting was stealing precious time from people\u2019s lives. It may be very stressful for employees working far from their home. Now, employees know that they don\u2019t have to burn their time and money on the roads. They can work from home as effectively as they work from the office.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It would be very hard to convince skilled workers to attend the office full time, instead of working in remote jobs, without the obligation to commute.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Environment_Friendly\"><\/span>2. Environment Friendly\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Carbon emission rates are rising daily. The future of our beautiful planet is not looking so good. Every person on the planet must dedicate their resources to overcome this problem.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remote work showed that it is very environmentally friendly. This OECD report shows that during the start of the remote working era, carbon emissions have dropped drastically. This may not be fully correlated with remote work, but we couldn\u2019t deny that they are related.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Less commutes means less use of transportation. Less use of transportation means less fossil fuel consumption. Airplanes were the biggest source of carbon emissions. With remote working, they dropped as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, keeping offices alive was an environmental disaster. The energy that is used for office maintenance is significant. Electricity and heating are the main components of this waste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In remote working, we use much less paper. With this style of working, we are saving trees.\u00a0If we want to live on this planet for a long time, remote work will help us in that journey.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Less_Cost\"><\/span>3.

All you need to do to join the remote workforce is to have a computer and an internet connection. It means\u00a0<strong>no commuting cost, no car maintenance, no car insurance, and even less clothing cost.\u00a0<\/strong>Also, the time you save by working from home can be turned into money in other ways.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remote working is also profitable for\u00a0<strong>companies<\/strong>. We mentioned that office maintenance is bad for the environment, I should also say that it is bad for your pocket. Electricity, heating, cleaning, drying, security, the list goes on and on.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a company chose to shut down its office and choose remote working long term, all the costs of the office would stay in the bank account. This money can be used as a bonus for employees, market research, marketing budget, or all the helpful things to improve your business.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Increased_ROI\"><\/span>4. Increased ROI\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Return on investment, known as ROI, is an important factor for companies to choose what to spend their money on. If an action wouldn\u2019t gain more than an investment, it is not good.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With remote working, costs will decrease meanwhile returns will increase. Productivity of employees in remote locations is higher than office working, thanks to\u00a0flexible working\u00a0chances. An employee can optimize their performance, rather than working strictly 9-5.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salary stays the same, and performance increases. Every company is okay with it. The high ROI of remote working makes it\u00a0<strong>feasible.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_More_Activity_in_the_Labor_Market\"><\/span>5. More Activity in the Labor Market\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The location of the office was an important factor for\u00a0<strong>skilled labor<\/strong>\u00a0to choose where they would work. If you want to grow as a company, you need to hire the best employees. In office working days, workers\u2019 expectations were high. To become an attraction point for the best, the location of your office should be really good.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Workers will choose a company located in New York, rather than Mississippi. With remote working, companies located in small cities have a larger playing field than ever before.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the place of the office does not matter at all in this remote working era, small companies located in small cities have a higher chance of hiring the brightest than before. There&#8217;s no question why human resources are busier than ever!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Increased_Productivity\"><\/span>6.

No commute means more time and less stress. Less cost means less economic stress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Better the health of the environment is better for our health.\u00a0Apart from these obvious points, remote working is a way to increase personal productivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the flexible working that it offers, an individual has a chance to find the best way of working and apply it. If a chief executive trusts its employees and gives them flexibility, and with the help of self-discipline, the sky is the limit in case of productivity.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget!
