HYBRID AND REMOTE WORK ARE HERE TO STAY

HYBRID AND REMOTE WORK ARE HERE TO STAY

Our pandemic lockdown has cornered business leaders to make an important decision. This decision is whether to require employees to come back to work in person. Up to now, many employees are looking to continue to work remotely. 

This conundrum is a leading cause of the ‘Great Resignation.’  

STATISTICS

Statistics are validating that resignations continue at steady levels.

HOW TO CAPITALIZE ON THIS TREND

One way to capitalize on this trend is to offer new employees to work either hybrid or remotely. A hybrid arrangement will allow employees to work from home and the office. This freedom may improve your organization’s ability to recruit top talent. Here are three reasons to offer employees this choice.  

1. Save Lots of Money

Your organization will save money by only having employees come into the office one to three days per week. This process will save money on electricity, heating (during the winter), and air conditioning (in the summer).

2. Remote Onboarding

VR Training is the next evolution in training and education (source). This immersive training will allow your HR team to onboard new employees with world-class training. VR training has effectively trained new employees who choose to work remotely. Plus, this will save you money as you will no longer need new employees to travel to your location for onboarding.

3. Attract Top Talent

VR Training will attract top because it will showcase that your organization is on the cutting edge of technology. What better way to showcase your organization’s innovation than by having top candidates explore 360 guided tours, learn your business model in a fun and engaging game, or collaborate with their potential team (in VR)?
