How will remote jobs determine the future?

Not least since COVID-19, employees – but also companies – have recognized the advantages of remote jobs. Even before this time, however, it was clear: the current New Work topics can no longer be ignored in any company. If you want to remain competitive as an employer, you have to deal with remote jobs, further training opportunities and the promotion of talent.

When it comes to employer branding, remote jobs are an unbeatable argument for employer attractiveness. Working wherever you want – this is how the dream of many high potentials and specialists comes true. The reasons for this vary. Newly coming from the university, many talents maybe want to see the world first. A permanent job? No thank you!

Even experienced specialists benefit from remote jobs. From working in your own garden to moving with the family due to a change of school, flexibility is no longer a problem.

Companies that keep up with the times are making remote working a viable option. Because let’s be honest: satisfied employees are the best advertisement for a company. Will remote jobs be the future? To be honest, they already are – at least for jobs that can also be done from another location.

What is the difference between remote and home office?

This is a question we are asked again and again. Both home office and remote work do not take place at a fixed workplace in the company building. The exact opposite of this is the classic workplace with a desk, computer and telephone in the office.

Of course, remote jobs and a classic workplace can also be perfectly combined. The basis for such cooperation is clear agreements and a close exchange between employer and talent.

But back to the difference between remote jobs and home office. The home office is a permanent workplace at home. A fixed number of days that can be worked from home is usually defined for jobs with home office options. The other time is spent by the employees on site in the company’s premises. The work must therefore still be reasonable for the employees with a home office arrangement. The remote job, on the other hand, is only done “remotely”. The employees only come to one of the offices for special events. Such an event can relate to on-boarding, employee events, Christmas dinner or monthly assessments.

Remote work means being completely independent of location. The job can be done anywhere in the world. A laptop, a telephone and a working internet connection are usually sufficient.

Remote jobs: What is important for companies?

Companies can do a lot to get fit for remote jobs. For example, precisely defined processes that make clearly structured work possible are essential. The responsiveness of colleagues, supervisors or the team must also be guaranteed. Secure data transmission is just as important as having a powerful laptop. In addition, it is certainly important that the remote teams also see each other physically from time to time – even if this is only once or twice a year. It has been proven that employee satisfaction also depends to a large extent on such personal encounters.

But the most important thing is to recruit suitable talent for the remote jobs. Working remotely requires discipline and a high level of self-organization. Whether at home or on the road: : The workload must be reliably fulfilled.

It must therefore already be clear in the job advertisement or during recruiting what the talented and potential employees can expect. When recruiting via Active Sourcing, we at Lionstep can search specifically for suitable talent. Appropriate talent profiles are also available to us at short notice from various sources.

How do remote jobs work?

As mentioned: A laptop, that’s all it takes. Employees usually log into their employer’s systems via laptop and can thus do their job. E-mails, surfing the Internet or video calls are already possible with a bandwidth of 16 Mbit/s.

Broadband is recommended if data is exchanged regularly. Even for live streams, a lower data transmission is usually not sufficient. In order to ensure data security, employers may have to provide a secure VPN (Virtual Private Network).

Depending on the agreement and the job profile, it may be possible to agree on a core time. Both employees and companies must be available for this. In principle, however, it corresponds to the nature of remote jobs to be able to cope without a time interface.

By the way: Information and communication technology, marketing/PR and management are the sectors in which remote work is now commonplace. But remote work is also becoming more and more popular in HR. In health care and, for example, in installation and maintenance jobs, working remotely will probably not be possible for some time,
