Remote work,
the future of your business?
The last decade’s technological evolution enabled the emergence of new, more flexible and dynamic working models.
Each passing day, businesses seeking a competitive advantage search for remote working employees or candidates - this working model is nothing new, for in the centuries preceding the 19th century, many workers, for the most part artisans, used their own households as their workplace.
The Industrial Revolution brought about change in this paradigm, given that mass production was largely dependent on a vast working force operating in a single ground.
Nonetheless, the last decade’s technological growth, along side the creation of the Internet, allowed many of these past barriers to be overcome, thus offering businesses the needed tools for a wide array of remote practises within their jobs.
Remote work offers mutual benefits for both employees and employers.
For the most part, studies confirm that remote workers enjoy higher levels of labour well-being and a better work-life balance, which translates to more individual and organisational productivity.

Benefits for your business.
Among several drivers responsible for an increased demand of remote workers, one of the most important factors rests in the capability of businesses to uphold the same levels of productivity with the same amount of workers and without the need to invest in costly office spaces to support this working force.
This working model also promotes an unrestricted search for talent when it comes to proximity and the need to commute or travel, offering businesses a larger pool of skilled candidates.
Businesses are growing restless and aware of their employees well-being - through schedule flexibility, greater time and resources management related to commuting and extraordinary expenses, this working model provides the individual with better quality of life which has a positive impact in their working performance.
Save resources and reduce expenses.
Remote work not only reduces the employees’ monthly costs, but adding to that it diminishes the need for businesses to invest in the acquisition and maintenance of offices.
Data gathered from studies has shown that this model increased the annual profitability of businesses by up to 21% through the shared reduction of costs associated to its employees. [1]
Stop wasting time, simplify your company's recruitment experience.
Through the remote working model companies can set aside money and time-consuming recruitment processes while trying to find reliable, skilled and dedicated employees.
Studies reveal that 70% of workers consider that having the option regarding their working space is a key factor in the decision making process for potential job offers. [2]
Boost your business productivity through focused and competent employees.
Remote work offers employees the opportunity to identify and implement the ideal conditions in order to fulfil efficiently their job roles throughout their daily schedule, by avoiding distractions and inconveniences.
Studies point out that this model increased employee’s productivity by 13% and decreased turnover intentions by up to 50%. [3]
