Coronavirus has changed our lives and normalized remote work. In fact, the pandemic through necessity proved how successful remote employees are. It turns out, both employee and employer are benefiting from this new normal. Businesses must still operate to survive during this outbreak and a remote employee allows businesses to safely continue while keeping more individuals working, feeding their families, and moving economies forward.

Employers across the world are reporting:

Increased productivity: Some professions, in particular in the tech industry, require employees to work in ‘blocks’; they may need to focus for many hours at a time. Having space where nobody will interrupt is especially important for this — this is why remote work is so popular in these industries.

Savings on equipment and office space: In most cases, remote workers pay for their own remote working equipment.

Larger talent pool than you have in your own backyard: Hiring remotely allows employers to choose the best of the best from around the world. Brix enables our clients the ability to immediately view pre-vetted and pre-screened talent from around the world at a fraction of the price.

Pre-vetted employees: Brix Labs offers a pre-screened pool of 2000+ developers with experience in 30+ technology stacks and who individually average 5+ years of experience. Each candidate takes a (4) hour Brix code test and is interviewed by subject-matter expert peers. Open to part-time, full-time, or contingency consultant roles.

Less commuting time resulting in less absenteeism: Absenteeism in the workplace is a big problem for workers and employees alike. Illnesses and appointments are often unavoidable (although remote working helps with that too) but absenteeism due to commuting time can be curbed significantly by hiring a remote team. Employers often find that remote workers even start and end a little earlier due to the lack of commuting.

Better employee mental health: 82% of remote workers have lower stress levels than in-house employees. Stress is a big contributor to mental health problems, compounded with the fears of Coronavirus, cutting this is crucial to increased productivity.

Employees are more grateful: Employees who work remotely tend to have more gratitude towards their employers resulting in employees willing to go above and beyond.

Get work done around the clock: One benefit of hiring remote and globally is that work will be done around the clock. Much less downtime.
