5 Benefits of a Distributed Workforce
At Esteemed, we believe that the future of work lies with highly-talented, diverse, and well-trusted teams of distributed workers.
The concept of a distributed workforce has gained significant traction. This model involves employees working across various geographical locations, leveraging advanced technologies to collaborate effectively beyond the confines of traditional office settings.
Organizations are increasingly embracing flexibility, agility, and empathy to foster change and achieve success in this evolving environment. A distributed workforce model provides employees the flexibility to work where and when they want and enables employers to engage a broader talent pool.
The Future Will Be (Evenly) Distributed
A distributed workforce refers to personnel geographically distributed over large areas who make the best use of advanced technology to go beyond the limitations of the traditional working model.
Coming advances in 5G, remote work platforms, video conferencing, VPNs, and a culture that embraces online life, all point to the benefits of a distributed workforce,
We’re also ditching the old ways of hiring — that can comprise months of wasted effort — for simple, consolidated staffing solutions.
5 Benefits of Distributed Teams
We understand the frustration of staffing and have made it our goal to remove the guesswork. For over a decade we’ve made it our business to help businesses easily harness the power of distributed workforces to find:
- Increased employee productivity
- Happier employees who are more productive
- Top global talent at your fingertips
- Improved culture, loyalty, and retention
- And a better bottom-line for your business
1. Increased Employee Productivity
Employers have been surprised that productivity skyrockets when workers go remote, even part-time. The flexibility of telecommuting has brought an infusion of energy to the workplace.
Studies have shown that remote workers can be 35-40% more productive than their in-office counterparts. Factors contributing to this increase include fewer distractions, personalized work environments, and flexible schedules that align with individual peak performance times
2. Happier Employees Are More Productive
Happy workers get more done. In a survey from the State of Remote Work 2019 “83% of survey respondents agreed that the ability to work remotely would make them happier.”
Not to mention that ~1,100 US-based firms reported improved relations between managers and workers after implementing a remote-work program.
Flexibility in work arrangements has been linked to higher job satisfaction. A recent study found that employees who have the opportunity to work remotely at least monthly are 24% more likely to feel happy and productive in their roles.
3. Top Global Talent at Your Fingertips
With Esteemed, you can quickly source digital professionals from a pre-vetted pool of global super-stars.
By adopting a distributed workforce model, companies can tap into a diverse range of skills and perspectives from around the world. This approach allows organizations to hire the best talent without being constrained by geographical limitations.
Gone are the days of murky job sites, bad leads, unreliable recruiters, and wasted weeks.
4. Improved Culture, Loyalty, and Retention
Now more than ever organizations desire a diversity of voices, global leaders with unique viewpoints, and loyal employees who consider flexibility a benefit.
According to a PGI think-piece, 95% of employers say that telework has a high impact on employee retention.
5. The Bottom-Line for Your Business
With the rising costs of office equipment and space, remote employees can save the average business close to $11,000 annually for even a part-time hire. Reducing the reliance on physical office spaces can lead to significant cost savings. Companies can save on expenses related to rent, utilities, and office supplies, reallocating these resources to other strategic initiatives.
