The Impact of Remote

We know that remote work unlocks positive social economic and environmental change in local communities. Let’s look specifically at economic change this month.

Leading remote employer Otonomee recently shared their thoughts on how remote operating models can give access to rural talent and why that’s a good thing for business.

“Rural-based professionals are often underrepresented in conventional, urban-centric hiring strategies, yet they bring a wealth of strengths that are increasingly vital in today’s customer service landscape. Their strong sense of community fosters empathy and collaboration, both of which are essential to delivering outstanding customer experiences. Years of living and working in environments where resources may be limited has also honed their ability to think creatively and act decisively. They’re natural problem-solvers, skilled at using what’s available to find efficient, effective solutions.”

Check out the full blog post here:

From an impact point of view, not only is it good for business but it also has a profound impact on the economic benefits that people employed in rural locations by opening up decent employment and salaries that may not otherwise be available in local communities.

The State of Remote IE
