The Value of Employee Retention in Remote Staffing
The Remote Staffing Model
According to Upwork’s Future Workforce Report, 38 percent of hiring managers predict their staffs will be [predominantly] remote in the next decade.
Additionally, the World Economic Forum referred to remote work as, “one of the biggest drivers of transformation of business models.
What is the real cost of losing an employee? It is estimated that losing an employee can cost a company 1.5-2 times the employee’s salary.
This is one of the reasons employee retention plays a big part in the emergence of remote staffing models. In fact, 95% of employers say telework has a high impact on employee retention. 46 percent of organizations that permit telework say it reduces attrition.
Here are some ways retention can be enhanced in a remote staffing setting:
Collaboration Tools for Communication and Productivity
The prevalence of cloud-based collaboration platforms such as Zoom, Skype, or Microsoft Teams foster communication and enhance the productivity and flexibility of remote teams. Process updates, regular check-in meetings and team communications can be done via virtual conferences, or audio calls depending on the preference of parties involved. Teams can communicate with their dedicated offshore team, making them feel more involved and connected and thus increasing employee retention in remote staffing.
The right remote staffing provider can integrate your current communication tools and processes to streamline the business processes of your remote staff. Clients must partner with an offshore provider with a remote-ready staffing model.
Work Flexibility
More and more employees prefer to have work flexibility.
Owl Labs partnered with Global Workplace Analytics and surveyed 1,202 full-time workers across the United States in their 2019 State of Remote Work report and found that 74% of employees say that remote work options would make them less likely to leave their company.
Work flexibility options are key value propositions of employers when building, hiring and even retaining employees.
Employee Engagement
A positive work culture results in high employee satisfaction and engagement. With this the company maintains a unique organizational culture in remote staffing, resulting in high employee retention and a low turnover.
