Still on the fence about whether your business can make a successful, productive and profitable transition to a virtual office in Brisbane? There are a myriad of reasons why you might benefit from making the switch and many of these relate to your employers and the extra time and energy that remote work affords. We will go through a few of these in more detail and you may just find yourself jumping off the fence and into a virtual office in Brisbane.
Avoid the major productivity drains
Australians have identified lengthy meetings, long commutes / traffic jams and IT issues as the top three destroyers of workplace productivity. These are all, for the most part, avoided when your business makes a shift to a virtual office in Brisbane.
Long meetings often interrupt workflow, muddle mindsets and stifle creativity or innovation. Remote workers are more likely to find mutually agreeable times to communicate with one another and the contact is generally more concise, useful and productive. A quick telephone conversation, skype call or series of emails are often as beneficial as a long meeting and the time savings will let your staff get on with what they do best. When meetings are necessary, securing virtual offices in Brisbane allows you to utilise the facilities of a commercial office space, without incurring the cost of more permanency.
When the study or the living room becomes the office, the commute is just a doorway or staircase away. Staff of a virtual office in Brisbane will literally save hours every week (perhaps every day) and will be thankful for this saving and less stressed (not to mention the reduction in their fuel costs and carbon footprints). Navigating inner city traffic can be a costly exercise, in terms of time and the mood of staff, but a virtual office in Brisbane will solve commuting headaches.
Despite all the advances in technology in recent years, some traditional offices still lack completely reliable internet services. With computers and occupants numbering in the hundreds (or even thousands), office connections are often overloaded and falter. A shift to a virtual office in Brisbane will allow staff to utilise more reliable private connections and ensure their work isn’t constantly interrupted by glitches.
Aside from being the most readily identifiable reasons for a reduction in workplace productivity, these factors also cost time and, most importantly, decrease the enjoyment and satisfaction of staff. A happy workplace is a more productive one… and one that also saves businesses a lot of staff hours and money. It may not suit every business, but there are many who would significantly benefit from a move to a virtual office in Brisbane. It might be time for your business to make the move.
