Frequently asked questions
What are the benefits of working from home for employers?
Home or hybrid working delivers the ultimate benefit of flexibility to employees. By offering flexibility to your teams – both in terms of location and hours – gives employees a sense of empowerment and trust, in turn leading to personnel feeling valued. This can inspire a culture of motivation with a focus on output and productivity rather than set hours. And by taking the time and energy used to commute to the office, the time saved can be used more effectively and immediately improve work-life balance and employee wellbeing.
How can I control my employees remotely?
Companies may feel remote working leads to a lack of insight when it comes to employee productivity. This is where innovative employee monitoring software such as a Teramind can prove invaluable. Used correctly, this software will protect employees and data, optimise processes and maximise productivity.
Is remote working the same as home working?
No, remote working is not the same as home working. Remote working refers to the ability to work from any location outside the traditional office setting, which can include at home, co-working spaces, coffee shops, or even while travelling. Home working, on the other hand, specifically means working from one's own residence. While all home working is a form of remote working, not all remote working is done from home. Remote working offers greater flexibility in terms of location, allowing employees to choose where they are most productive.
What are remote working solutions?
To achieve a successful remote working environment, your teams will need access to the same tools as in the office – reliable internet connections, secure access to files, collaboration platforms, cloud-based communication solutions and cyber security. Focus Group are here to take all of it all for you, so you can pour all your energies into growing your business.
What are best practices when working remotely?
Hybrid working is based on effective communication and critical to success. Communication is key to information flow, team working, knowledge building and project management. This is where a platform such as Microsoft 365 shines – enabling easy collaboration and delivering all the productivity tools you’ll need. For your customers, it goes without saying that channels of communication should be open and seamless, wherever your employees are working. A cloud based phone system enables total flexibility, reliability and agility, whilst allowing you to stay connected with your customers anytime and from anywhere.
Can remote employees work anywhere?
A cloud computing solution will enable your workforce to access files anytime, anywhere - whilst keeping your data secure. The only thing you’ll need to ensure you have in place is a secure and reliable internet connection.
