First, we have to transition from working in the office to working from home – and for more than a year now many businesses have been fully remote. Now, organizations are transitioning from remote working to hybrid working.
Hybrid working is where businesses implement the technology and practices that allow some employees to work from home, whilst others work at a company office. This mode of working is great for small to medium-sized businesses. We spoke to TechQuarters, an IT Managed Services company that has gone fully remote, as well as helped many of their customer’s transition to hybrid working recently. They let us know some of the top reasons why SMBs should consider going hybrid.
Empower employees to work their best way
The Covid-19 pandemic compelled a lot of businesses to adopt remote working. This proved to be a revelation for many, whereas others found it to be a major inconvenience – a lot of workers felt their productivity was affected by them having to work from home; whilst others thoroughly enjoyed it and found work more enjoyable.
The great thing about Hybrid working is that no one has to compromise their preferred style of working because those that want to work at the office can do it, whilst those that prefer working from home can continue doing so. Others may also feel the most enriched when splitting their time between home and office, and hybrid work enables this too.
Save money on overheads
Going hybrid often means downsizing certain aspects of your business. The big one will likely be downsizing your offices. With some employees working from home permanently, and others potentially splitting their time between home and the office, it makes sense to save money and downsize your office space.
TechQuarters has helped many of their Managed IT Support services customers migrate their IT infrastructures to the Cloud – and they say that this is the best way to enable hybrid working for any business. It makes it easier for organizations to onboard users remotely, as well as ensure everyone has access to the apps, data, and various resources they need to work. Migrating to the Cloud can also save a company lots of money in the long run.
Get access to a wider pool of talent
When you’re no longer bound by the limitations of an on-premise IT infrastructure and have embraced the idea of having workers that never come into the office, you can start getting creative with expanding your workforce. There are hugely talented people all over the world, and enabling hybrid working means you can tap into that global pool of talent.
Make IT Support Easier for Everyone
TechQuarters are also IT Support providers that have been delivering remote and outsourced IT support to customers for more than a decade now.
With a conventional on-premise workplace, most businesses will have an in-house IT department. However, TechQuarters informed us that 80% of common IT issues can be resolved remotely. What is more, if a business migrates their IT infrastructure to the Cloud, then they will have even less need for onsite IT maintenance, because that maintenance can be done in the Cloud.
