The pandemic has had a definite impact on how people work. With more than a year into remote work, many organizations are debating what percentage of their staff to bring back to the office or whether to stay completely remote. There’s no doubt that there’s been a shift in imagining what the workplace looks like, and the on-demand office could be the norm for years to come.
Telecommunicating has become an everyday activity for many businesses, whereas before COVID-19 it was only for a select few. Now, companies are looking long-term at what has the potential to take them further, and some are seeing remote work as more than just a stop-gap measure.
The potential for the on-demand office to be useful permanently rather than just during the pandemic is surely crossing the minds of some employers. They have transformed HR and other departments to incorporate digital tools and see the benefits of using those tools while working from anywhere.
The on-demand office is a relatively new way of looking at work. Rather than the office being a fixed physical location for working, it is instead an accessible activity that can happen anywhere at any time.
Using digital tools like Talcura for Enterprise, companies can access recruiting and onboarding modules from any device, making working on the go easier than ever. It also makes sharing information with stakeholders easier, as is sharing posted vacancies on social media.
This approach makes for flexible working. With features like built-in templates, email integration, and eSignatures, Talcura’s enterprise recruiting software is designed to speed up work, save money, improve employee engagement, and more.
The reality is that 2021 is unpredictable, and 2022 is likely to be the same. A virtual office provides the options that many businesses are looking for, rather than being held to a physical space that requires a lease.
Organizations can test out what suits their employee base without having big overhead expenses by using the on-demand office model. If it needs tweaking down the road, there’s the flexibility to do so. The money saved can go toward growing the business.
Not only that, but this modern approach to working shows the company’s existing customer base that you are strong and persevere through trying times. It tells them that you are the right choice to do business with this year and beyond.
There are more advantages too. For example, when your employees can connect from home or on the go to the office, they can immediately begin to work. There is no travel time to factor into their day or the negative impact of vehicles on climate change.
Your organization can also benefit from employees who enjoy better time management working from home because they can focus more on their work without distractions. In addition to potentially having better focus, they can also have a comfortable work environment at home.
