FLEXIBLE WORKING CHALLENGES

Is your flexible workforce truly supported?

Picture this: You’ve embraced flexible working, but cracks are starting to show. HR struggles to onboard remote hires effectively, while your contractors and freelancers grapple with accessing the tools they need securely. At the same time, your IT environment feels stretched thin—impacting team wellbeing and productivity.

These challenges are common but solvable. With the right IT setup, you can:

  • Eliminate onboarding chaos.
  • Protect sensitive data while supporting external collaborators.
  • Create a seamless, frustration-free work environment.

Maybe your teams need more flexibility, and you haven’t taken the leap yet? New or an old hat with flexible working, without the right IT, it can feel like chaos. At ITGUYS, we’re going to help you set up the right environment and then ensure it works smoothly and consistently.

Opportunities for small businesses

Flexible and remote working empowers small businesses

The benefits you can’t afford to ignore. Empower your team to perform at their best, wherever they are, with a strategy that fosters growth and resilience.

1

Expanded talent pool

Flexible and remote working policies enable small businesses to recruit talent beyond geographical constraints. This opens access to a diverse and skilled workforce, allowing small businesses to compete with larger companies for top talent. According to a 2022 study by Owl Labs, companies with remote work options are more likely to attract and retain employees. Ninety percent of remote workers say they’re as productive or more productive than in-office employees. The study also found that companies with remote work options experience 25% lower employee turnover than those without.

2

Cost savings

Remote work reduces overhead costs such as office space, utilities, and on-site amenities. A study by Global Workplace Analytics found that companies save an average of $11,000 annually per remote employee. These savings can be reinvested in technology, training, or other growth initiatives.

3

Increased employee satisfaction and productivity

Flexible work arrangements contribute to higher job satisfaction, which translates into better performance. Research from Buffer’s 2023 State of Remote Work report indicates that 91% of employees working remotely report better work-life balance, and companies with flexible policies see a 41% decrease in absenteeism. 77% of remote workers say they’re more productive when working remotely due to fewer distractions.

4

Business resilience

Remote work builds resilience by reducing dependency on a single location. Businesses that supported remote work during disruptions like the COVID-19 pandemic maintained operations more effectively than those that didn’t. A McKinsey study showed that companies with remote work capabilities are better equipped to adapt to unforeseen challenges.

5

Supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)

Flexible policies make workplaces more accessible to individuals with caregiving responsibilities, disabilities, or those living in remote areas. This supports DEI goals while tapping into underutilised talent pools.

There are also great sustainability opportunities. Remote work reduces carbon footprints. If employees worked remotely half the time, greenhouse gas emissions would drop by 54 million tons annually (Global Workplace Analytics).

Essential Cyber security Practices for Remote Work

Cyber security is critical for remote or flexible working

The rise of remote and flexible working has revolutionised how businesses operate, but it has also introduced significant cyber security risks. Robust cyber security is non-negotiable in a remote or hybrid work environment. To create a secure remote or flexible working environment, businesses must implement these key measures:

  • VPNs (Virtual Private Networks): Encrypt connections to protect data transmitted over public or home networks.
  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Add an extra layer of protection beyond passwords.
  • Endpoint Protection: Secure laptops, smartphones, and other devices used for remote access.
  • Cloud Security: Ensure secure file sharing and collaboration tools like Microsoft 365 are properly configured.
  • Regular Employee Training: Empower staff to recognise phishing attempts and follow security best practices.
  • Zero Trust Access Policies: Grant employees and freelancers the minimum necessary access to perform their roles.
