5 Reasons Why Remote Work is the Future for B2B Companies

1. Access to wider markets

As a B2B company, access to new clients and markets is essential. With remote work, you can ensure that you have a skilled and flexible pool of employees across many locations. This network of talent allows you to connect with clients across the world, either in-person or through telecommuting. 

2. Happier, more productive employees

A recent study by the American Psychology Association found that employees with the ability to telecommute or work remotely had increased levels of job satisfaction. As a result, their overall performance and productivity were higher. 

3. Lower overheads, higher profitability

The bottom line is that flexible and remote working can reduce overheads and make your business more profitable. Office rent and bills are reduced, while remote employees are more productive. A recent article by Forbes found that, in the US, companies save an average of $11,000 per year per part-time telecommuter. This figure is equal to a 21% higher profitability.

4. Better candidates

Employees want to have a flexible workspace. A 2019 report by Airbnb for Work found that 77% of UK workers feel companies should provide more remote working options. By offering the choice to work from home some of the time, you’re more likely to attract the talent that will drive your business forward. 

5. Employee retention

When your workers are happy, they’re more likely to want to commit to you long-term. Given the benefits that telecommuting, remote work, and WFH bring, your employees are likely to feel less stressed, take fewer sick days, and feel more loyal to your brand.
