When a once-in-a-while perk transforms into a general way of life, we seem to cherish it. Something similar happened to us during the pandemic. Working from home was indeed a job perk back in the pre-COVID days. But it has now become our reality today, and we are not giving it up any time soon, mainly because remote work has given us –
- Flexible work schedules
- Freedom to work from anywhere
- Break from daily commutes
- Sufficient time to spend with our families
And when we say ‘we’, we talk on behalf of the management too. The remote working strategy has proved to be beneficial for organizations as well. Recruiterbox has pointed out why –
- Remote work has brought the office costs down to a large extent
- It has given the much-needed access to an endless talent pool
- Productivity has increased impressively as remote employees are not spending their precious time in stretched coffee breaks and daily commutes
- Remote work improved every employee’s quality of life by improving their physical and emotional wellbeing
Hence, working from anywhere has put forward a win-win situation for both an employer and an employee. Another opportunity to pop-up in recent times due to the work from anywhere concept is hiring talent from anywhere.
At NexAEI, we believe that the phoenix of a decentralized workforce has risen from the ashes of geographical boundaries.
Numerous organizations have already started hiring talents from every corner of the world. In today’s disruptive market, the only thing that holds importance is – your skill. If you are adequately and relevantly skilled, companies will hire you, and your geographical location will no longer be a factor!
