1. Control your costs

Allowing staff to be more flexible with where they work, you will benefit from cutting employees travel costs. Another cost-saving could be your office supplies and space, both of which would be improved.

2. Dealing with Early Birds or Night-Owls

Working from home can give employees control over the hours they work which can be ideal if they are more productive outside standard office hours.

3. Get away from interruptions

Sometimes allowing staff to work from the office from time to time can increase productivity.  This is great if you or a member of your team is working on a particular project that could benefit from peace and quiet away from phones and meetings!

4. Hiring the ideal candidates

Another benefit is that businesses are able to hire the best staff without their location causing any hindrance on the situation.  It may be hard to find someone with a specific set of skills in a certain location so this makes the search a lot easier for businesses.

5. Embrace cloud technology

The great thing about cloud-based application is it allows you to work wherever you are; at home, at a client or in the coffee shop.  Half of small businesses in the UK are choosing to move to cloud-based systems and these numbers are on the rise.

Remember, remote working doesn’t have to be a full-time thing – even allowing your team to work a few hours out of the office if required could reap rewards for your business.
