This, ties back to leadership arguments about if remote work helps or hinders productivity.\u00a0 The COVID lockdowns due to the pandemic showed that this argument is moot.<\/p>\n<p>These arguments from leadership on the validity of remote work are causing the round in circles argument that has sparked what is coined \u201cThe Great Resignation.\u201d \u00a0The Great Resignation is famous for employees no longer asking for remote workplaces but rather demanding remote workplaces.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;

Here is a list of why businesses should work to pivot and encourage the expansion of remote work.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Remote workers take less time off.\u00a0 This is a true statement about remote workers as they have a better ability to coordinate doctor\u2019s appointments and family and friends\u2019 engagements, among other personal needs, during break and lunch hours in a remote workplace.\u00a0 Where in an onsite capacity, there is often the physical distance between work and home, and this can create delays, and tardiness for employees before, during, and after work.\u00a0 Remote workers also take fewer sick days as the power through work while sick and do not infect the entire workforce when these workers work from home. This offers employees a level of freedom not seen in previous generations.<\/li>\n<li>Investors in corporate and tax paying American crave more transparency of the work and products being created.\u00a0 Remote work provides more transparency.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Remote work allows for more workers to balance work and family.\u00a0 Which, I hear a lot of business owners ask me, \u201cwhy does that benefit business\u201d?\u00a0 According to the most recent PEWs research, Kramer (2021); the United States of America has the highest single-parent household demographic in the country. According to the PEWs Research, Kramer (2021), 23% of American households are single-parent households.\u00a0 For business leaders who may have staffing issues finding quality workers to come onsite is difficult.\u00a0 And those they can hire may have attendance issues, tardiness, and issues with obtaining childcare.\n<ul>\n<li>Remote work allows employees to balance this issue and make childcare more affordable.\u00a0 (Speaking from a mother\u2019s perspective, it is easier and cheaper to get a nanny in the home while I am at home than to drop my children at daycare. Moreover, businesses forget or discriminate against those employees who have families. In the Forbes article, Ibarra et al. (2017); noted that men, especially single men without children, tend to be promoted more. They are promoted more than women or men with children, regardless of marital status. According to Ibarra et al. (2017), businesses tend to view single men as \u201chungry\u201d and more \u201cgo-getters.\u201d\u00a0 However, now that we are in a pandemic and unprecedented recession, businesses are undervaluing people with families.\u00a0 People with families are both skilled and show commitment.\u00a0 Giving these employees a remote workplace allows for increasing employee retention and maintaining a skilled workforce. \u00a0Another thing major corporation forgets on this topic is that employee retention is both cheaper than recruiting and looks better to investors and the public compared to a publicized revolving door of employees.<\/li>\n<li>Companies argue that there is a skilled labor shortage.\u00a0 This is a misnomer because companies are not working to attract one of the biggest demographics of educated and skilled labor.\u00a0 Specifically, women. As detailed in the research article, Perry (2021); noted that women for the twelve years of the research project have consistently all the doctorate degrees awarded in the United States been awarded to women. In the master&#8217;s degree article, Perry (2021); notes women earned 60% of the awarded master&#8217;s degrees.\u00a0 In the article, Perry (2021); goes on to talk about how these women did not get advanced degrees in underwater basket weaving or other nonsensical programs.\u00a0 The women detailed in the research of Perry (2021); earned degrees in STEM, business, and other marketable and needed skills.<\/li>\n<li>According to the Washington Post article, Collins et al. (2021); show that mothers\u2019 employment has dropped by over 7% as of 2021.\u00a0 This information is further supported by Kramer (2021); which noted that of the 23% of single parents in the US, single moms are the biggest demographic of single parents.\u00a0 Women are slow to return to the workforce because of a lack of childcare.\u00a0 This means companies not investing in remote work are missing out on the opportunity to get the edge on the completion by having the skilled and highly educated demographic of women.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Two basic principles are taught in business school regarding leadership and development.\u00a0 One of your employees is an organization&#8217;s greatest resource.\u00a0 The second is that diversity in an organization allows for more creative problem-solving.\u00a0 In the Forbes article, Hunt (2021); Professor Hunt notes that remote work encourages diversity.\u00a0 In the article, Hunt (2021); goes on to repeat the concept that diversity in the workplace increases creativity.\u00a0 This flies in the face of the argument used since the 1980s that remote work decreases creativity and collaboration.\u00a0So, many companies get subsidies and tax write-offs, among other governmental benefits in the United States.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>This is not a well-hidden secret. With remote work, employees can spread out and live in less expensive areas.\u00a0 The real estate market has noted since the start of the pandemic of remote workers moving to lower-income areas such as Texas, Kentucky, and Mississippi.\u00a0 With these workers relocating, they are bringing their \u201cbig city money.&#8221;\u00a0 As such, this has made it so many of these community\u2019s experience unprecedented growth.\u00a0 \u00a0Showing that business is doing what the government has been unable to do about lifting up struggling communities.\u00a0 This gives businesses more wiggle room to negotiate more benefits within governmental support.\u00a0 However, this negotiating power that companies now have predicates on companies&#8217; willingness to let go of old management concepts and evolve with how the world has changed. This change to remote work will benefit all around if the fear of change is managed more.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>All five of these reasons are in addition to the fact remote workplaces allow for lower overhead costs, and give companies the ability to pare down the real estate and other physical operations costs.\u00a0 Making remote work even more of a win-win scenario.\u00a0 The reasons noted above are topics that have been researched since at least 80\u2019, especially in relation to remote work specifically. All the research cited in this article is noted below in the work cited in case you want to read further.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The conclusion to this article is that remote work is an unprecedented opportunity for business, and many of the most outspoken thought leaders are giving pushback to all industries\u2019 detriment.\u00a0 Especially these thought leaders saying no to remote work are influencing other leaders to cut their own noses off despite their faces. \u00a0\u00a0The business in the private and government sector is changing and the workplace where business is conducted are changing, and companies either evolve or share the fate of dinosaurs.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;-17px||20px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|24.625px|0px||&#8221; global_module=&#8221;37900&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; max_width=&#8221;780px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|73.90625px|0px&#8221; use_custom_width=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_width_px=&#8221;780px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;PT Serif||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#363636&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;36&#8243; text_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||70px|&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;26&#8243; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;] Want new articles before they get published?
