Here, There and Everywhere: 4 Reasons to Love Remote Working

Switching to the remote working life gives you, and your team, the freedom to work anywhere. You can choose your own hours and spend more time with your friends and family. You’ll also be able to save yourself time and money on travel costs, no more to and from the office. Thanks to the power of a cloud-based bespoke CRM you’ll be able to access your business from anywhere with a WiFi connection.

There can be a few downsides to remote working. Some people do experience feelings of isolation, being away from an office and their team. However that doesn’t mean you should be scared of remote working, because the positives far outweigh the negatives. The Lunar Team have put together a list of reasons to love remote working…

1 – Time with Your Loved Ones

Here’s the big bonus if you are someone that suffers with feelings of loneliness – working remotely means you’ll be able to spend more time with the people you care about. No more travelling to an office and losing precious hours with the family on either side of the working day. You can be there when they head off to work or school in the morning, and there when they get back.

Just use your WiFi enable device to access your CRM and you’re good to go, even from bed!

2 – Be Happier and Healthier

Speaking of working from bed, there’s nothing more distressing than having to travel to the office when you’re sick. With remote work and a cloud-based CRM solution, this is no longer a problem. If you need a bed day, your work doesn’t have to suffer.

We don’t often consider how unhealthy an eight hour office work day can be. Not only can the conditions be bad for our posture and physical health, with most of us leaning over desks on uncomfortable office chairs, but the stress of it all can detrimental to our mental health.

Meetings, traffic, public transport, distractions, having to go in sick even when you shouldn’t – it all adds up and takes its toll on you. Remote working gives you the chance to get some space and clear your head. You’ll even find yourself feeling a little more productive than before.

3 – Don’t Break the Bank

The cost of travelling to and from the office every day adds up, as does the cost of the office if you’re the boss. Remote working can have a positive effect on your finances, especially with a cost effective bespoke CRM solution. The only costs you’ll need to consider are your independent costs, helping to minimise stress and work more productively.

4 – Find Better Opportunities

We’re in the age of the cloud, and with your cloud-based CRM allowing you to work anytime, anywhere comes a wealth of opportunities for your career and your business. Remote working means you’re not limited by location, meaning better opportunities to network both in person and online. You can allow your business to tap in to freelance talent worldwide, giving you more opportunity to expand.

Remote working is becoming a more popular option for businesses everywhere, and it’s easy to see why. With happier teams that have more freedom to socialise and work hours that best suit them, comes a more productive workforce and a business that has the flexibility to expand.
