A truly global workforce Hiring an employee from halfway across the planet is set to become easier than anyone would have imagined.
Every organisation is dependent more on its people than on any other resource. Yes, other factors such as technology and investments do matter. But in the end, it is the people and their work that make or break the organisation’s future. Why else would companies expend a substantial amount of resources in hiring, and retaining, the best? in the race to hire and retain the finest minds, organisations keep their options open with regard to adopting new technologies and policies that will give them the edge. as a result, your company’s newest employee might be sitting in her/his house, halfway around the globe, starting the day’s work while still eating breakfast.
The rise of remote working
‘Work from home’ is too simplistic a label to explain the concept of remote working. no doubt it stems from the fact that most people who exercise the remote working option generally tend to work from their residences. however, it also harkens back to an era when the only reliable internet connection one could have outside of their workplace was at home. We now live in times where Wi-Fi is near ubiquitous—hotels, cafes, and pubs no longer display the ‘Free WiFi’ signs that once peppered establishments in the early 2000s; it is simply assumed that every customer-facing business offers complementary wireless internet. cheaper data plans from mobile service providers have also encouraged people to step out from their homes and work on the go. above all, companies are more open to experimenting with different trends in order to find the right balance between employee satisfaction and productivity. if that means letting employees work from their desired location, then so be it.
