Remote Work and How Remote Staffing Can Help
Upwork‘s Future Workforce Report 2021 is a representative survey of 1,000 U.S. hiring managers’ hiring preferences. The findings of the survey reveal that 40.7 million American professionals, nearly 28% of respondents, will be fully remote in the next five years, up from 22.9% in their survey conducted in November 2020 (36.2 million Americans, an 87% percent increase from pre-pandemic levels).
At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, large companies such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon and Twitter announced to its employees the move to either a full- or part-time remote working model.
With the transition to a distributed workforce being prevalent and the preferred work model of both organizations and their employees, organizations are also adopting remote staffing, also called co-sourcing, into their business model.
Remote Staffing is the process of businesses hiring, building, managing a dedicated team or staff through an outsourcing partner/service provider located onshore or outside a company’s geographical location to support business processes.
In remote staffing, the remote service provider augments staff for the organization that work under the direction of the client, billed on an hourly or FTE basis.
Examples:
- Contract employees or temporary labor,
- Offshore or offsite dedicated staff support such as virtual assistant or virtual staff, most legal work
- Captive organization is ultimately a form of staff augmentation although transfer pricing may be via a different model
Key players such as Apple, and Cisco Systems, among others, have remote staff.
Remote staffing is a win-win model where you partner with the service provider who will work with you to improve the bottomline and unlock business growth. This allows for business continuity, more efficiency, flexibility and convenience, competitive advantage, reduced pricing, and most importantly, access to external expertise which explains why organizations continue to adopt this approach.
