Introduction

The world as we know it has changed. Even businesses that long declared that working from home wasn't an option have found themselves adjusting and overhauling their business models, since the only other alternative is to close. Despite being thrust into this “new normal,” businesses and their displaced staff have risen to the challenges and acclimatized to ways of working remotely. Since then, the idea of managing remote workers has grown and become more widely accepted as a viable way to do business.

When to Consider Remote Staffing

If your business needs more employees but you don't have the office space to accommodate them; if someone on your staff wants to work from home; you want to promote a flexible work environment but fear losing profits; or you simply need to adapt due to a pandemic as so many have had to do, managing remote staff may be the answer.
