Hiring a Remote Operations Manager
Hiring a Remote Operations Manager offers multiple upsides.
For starters, workplace flexibility has been named the “future of work” in the World Economic Forum, 2020. Because of COVID-19, we are facing some important changes that will redefine how we will work in the future. Companies have lost the fear of working remotely. According to Gartner, 74% or, nearly 3 of 4 companies are permanently shifting at least part of the team of previously on-site employees to permanently remote positions post-COVID 19.
The world’s top researchers say yes, by proving that workplace flexibility will boost your bottom line in these five categories:
Productivity — Teleworkers are an average of 35-40% more productive than their office counterparts, and have measured an output increase of at least 4.4%.
Performance — With stronger autonomy via location independence, workers produce results with 40% fewer quality defects.
Engagement — Higher productivity and performance combine to create stronger engagement, or in other words, 41% lower absenteeism.
Retention — 54% of employees say they would change jobs for one that offered them more flexibility, which results in an average of 12% turnover reduction after a remote work agreement is offered.
Profitability — Organizations save an average of $11,000 per year per part-time telecommuter, or 21% higher profitability.
Based on this statistical analysis, remote work is not going anywhere any time soon. Even further, companies would be wise to prioritize the “remote work revolution” as a strategy to enhance their top objectives in this new decade.
