Remote working has been increasing steadily over the past decade, thanks to ongoing developments in technology.
However, it’s likely that instances of remote working in Sydney will explode in the very near future. This is due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Businesses have realised that it’s much easier to implement than initially thought… it really is true that constraints force creativity!
Moreover, most of these businesses actually saw no drop in productivity. Some even saw a boost!
Here are a few of the obstacles that you might face when it comes to implementing remote working for your business, and how to overcome them.
Technology
In this day and age, technology is barely an obstacle to remote working. However, it can still present a small hump to overcome for some businesses.
The lack of face to face communication can take its toll on your workers, as well as your business. Speaking face to face is always the most effective way to communicate.
That being said, there are plenty of applications that will allow staff to speak with each other remotely over video chat.
Moreover, countless programs allow workers to collaborate real time on work, as well as utilise shared storage and so forth.
As long as your business has access to these applications, with an IT department that can manage them effectively, you’ll be fine.
Your Commercial Lease
It’s likely that if you have more staff working from home, you won’t need as much floor space in your office.

Balancing Staff Needs
Different types of workers have different ways of working.
Therefore, some might be really suited to remote working and some may well not be. Balance is simply essential.
Giving employees the choice of whether to work remotely or not is one way to help ensure everyone is happy.
Research shows that this kind of responsibility will also increase employee satisfaction and happiness in the office.
