Today businesses of all sizes all over the world are benefiting from a remote talent revolution. What driving this trend, is the fact that scaling with a virtual team is easier and more cost-effective than growing with in-house employees.
Remote teams are growing at an extremely rapid pace. According to ‘The 2017 State of Telecommuting in the U.S. Employee Workforce’ report, 3.9 million people, or 2.9% of the total U.S. workforce, worked from home at least half the time in 2015, a 115% increase from 1.8 million back in 2005. A growing number of business leaders are looking for ways to improve their remote work operations.
With those facts, you may ask what are the benefits of hiring remote staff?
The global availability of remote people provides you with access to more people and better talent. Leveraging remote teams allows you to gain back your own time and reduce the daily stress associated with running your business.
For example, maybe you run a mobile app development business and you’re growing rapidly, you can not scale up your team quickly enough, by adding remote teams you can get ahead of the scaling.
You don’t want to be left behind, learning from others that have experiences in rapid scaling of their businesses, gives you a great advantage as a business owner.
