Remote Work Can Be Great (If You Keep These Threats In Check)

Remote Work Can Be Great (If You Keep These Threats In Check)

With remote workers, you have a lot more questions to consider on a daily basis, especially in the realms of productivity and security. If you’re not careful, you could put your business at risk. Here’s how you can face these challenges head-on and ensure your organization doesn’t suffer any negative side effects of remote work.

Remote Work is Great for Both Employees and Employers

Since your team can get work done from anywhere, some of your typical workplace disruptions won’t impact them as much as they otherwise might.

For example, bad weather and sick kids might otherwise keep someone out of work, but with remote opportunities, these employees can stay productive even if they are out of the office. Let’s say one of your workers has a kid with a 24-hour bug, and they can’t find any last-minute childcare. The possibility for remote work means they can get work done, even if they can’t make it to the office for whatever reason.

And let’s be real; whatever caused that 24-hour bug can stay at home, too—it doesn’t serve anyone to spread germs around the office needlessly, as multiple sick employees actually sinks productivity.

The Downsides of Remote Workers

Remote work can be a great way to help your business offer benefits to employees and be more productive, but it comes with a cost:

  • Are employees using secure, updated devices?
  • Is their home Wi-Fi actually safe?
  • Are they using the right collaboration tools, or just winging it?

This uncertainty can make a bad implementation of remote work a catastrophe waiting to happen.

How to Navigate the Nuances of Remote Work

If you want to make remote work work for your business, we recommend using the following technology solutions:

  • VPNs encrypt data, making any connection secure.
  • Mobile device management keeps tabs on employee devices, ensuring they’re updated and protected.
  • Cloud collaboration tools help your team stay connected, no matter where they are.

For guidance on how to implement these solutions, call Atech MSP at (888) 814-4843 today.
