Remote Working Spaces

Remote working is a little bit like Marmite. It’s not for everyone; some love to do it, some hate it. Which camp you fall into has a lot to do with the type of role you’re working in, and the type of sector. Business leaders are similarly divided. While some enterprises see their future workforce as being dispersed, others envision an almost entirely office-based culture going forward.

Connected workspaces for dispersed workforce productivity

What seems to be universally agreed, however, is that remote working is here to stay, in some form or other – perhaps not for all organisations, or every type of role, or even all the time, but the possibility (and benefits) of working remotely has certainly made its way into the workforce’s collective psyche. As such, where it suits, remote working is likely to become one of the ways in which companies attract and retain the best talent, to maintain their competitiveness and future-proof their human capital. With this reality to contend with, organisations must consider how to optimise the remote worker experience – for maximum productivity, efficiency, collaboration and inclusivity. Key to this achievement is the creation of connected workspaces, where the experience of the physical and digital are seamless.

Key Benefits:

Making work work better – wherever you are

The ideal is that the experience of remote working and office working match as closely as possible – so files are accessed in the same way, company information is disseminated in a similarly accessible manner, and colleagues are just as available for collaboration as if you were sitting in the same space. This kind of effective remote working may have been unthinkable even just a few years ago, but thanks to cutting-edge tech and the rollout of superfast broadband, it’s no longer considered a compromise. Secure cloud storage and workflow software are the cornerstones of making work work better for a dispersed team – as are communications technologies, from the more traditional phone and email services to video conferencing or virtual collaboration facilities, as well internal communications messaging via a dedicated employee app.

Key Benefits:

Virtual spaces for efficient and effective collaboration

Documents can be shared, read and edited online, with collaborator input as easily assimilated as if everyone were in the same room – even better, there’s a virtual paper trail of changes, so anyone can get up to speed on a project’s progression. Hard copy can be printed locally if required, whether an employee is remote or at the office, under managed print system follow-me rules. Where higher quality or volume print is required, the same process can be followed whether the employee responsible for the project is remote or on-site: hybrid mail and print services streamline the printing and fulfilment of letters, magazines, brochures and other mass mail-outs, while central print production capability delivers any high-quality print assets that are required by the business –with superlative print, binding, laser-cutting and UV varnish capabilities.

Flexible working: seamless connections for superlative teamwork

Whether remote working means being located in a home office, a regional office, or a more transient environment – on the road, in a café, or in whatever co-working space you’re closest to at the time – with a carefully planned work environment that connects physical and digital spaces, it’s possible to ensure the best levels of focus, productivity and collaborative effectiveness. This flexibility not only means that businesses with national and international reach can draw their workforces closer together, virtually, as well as ensure that costs are controlled, while work output remains high in terms of volume and quality, and talent is retained through an improved workday experience. With such agility comes better business resilience, and a more competitive, profitable future.
