Many companies in the US are reviewing their options regarding remote work and are encountering significant drawbacks for their employees with home-based models, such as reduced productivity, feelings of loneliness, security risks and problems in building a company culture. At Remote Team Solutions we have a unique answer by having in-office teams working from secure high-tech, fun and collaborative environments in Mexico. Our model is different than a classical remote arrangement; companies can now have near shore staffing models without giving up the structure, responsibility and collaborative work that is expected from face-to-face arrangements.
The Downsides of Remote Work / Work from Home
Although remote work became the norm during the pandemic, many employers are finding that the model has its limitations:
Many employees, particularly those working remotely, are continuously distracted with chores and their gadgets. This constant pressure to multi-task and keep up with daily chores without the structure of an office, according to reports prepared by Project Manager regarding challenges of working remotely and TimeChamp scientific report about remote work, often has an impact on the output of employees.
Working remotely can also have drawbacks such as stifling unplanned creative collaboration. During such periods, the I.T again found a 38% decrease in “weak ties”, cross-functional relations that generate novelty. The World Economic Forum also emphasizes the importance of face-to-face environments in the exchange of information across teams, the so-called ‘cafeteria effect.’ Remote Team Solutions offers this creative edge by having an office-based model that enhances collaboration and innovation with reasonable expenses.
Working from one place assumes less need arose for spontaneous socialization that is so necessary for creativity, collaboration and development of good interpersonal relations within the team. Research of this kind is also provided in papers by Stanford University where they are arguing that hybrid and in office working practices help build and maintain relationships among teams and encourage them to be engaged, which is critical for employee retention in the long run.
Cybersecurity threats are harder to address in a remote setup. Remote locations may not be properly designed to secure the sensitive information hence posing even more risks to employees as well as the organizations. This problem is also covered in articles by Vantage Circle and Hubstaff.
Employees working off-site are not necessarily mentored or encouraged to network as one would in the office and so struggle with career advancement and development. Remote work avoids time-consuming experiences in the office, but complexities of career growth maintenance in a remote setup are also raised in Sperton’s examination of remote work.
Many clients come to us after facing these challenges with fully remote setups. For example, one client who managed a remote team in the US found that productivity was inconsistent and that security concerns were increasing as employees used home networks. After transitioning to Remote Team Solutions, their team’s productivity stabilized, and they gained confidence knowing that their data was securely managed in our controlled office environment.
After switching to our near-shore model, another of our clients observed the remarkable boost of their team collaboration and performance. Strengthening their ties with the team members by coming to our offices in Mexico improved the effectiveness of conducting training, building the importance of direct interaction.

How Remote Team Solutions Combines In-Office Benefits with Nearshore Savings
Remote Team Solutions offers a nearshore staffing model that mitigates the common pitfalls of remote work while providing cost-effective, in-office support:
Our teams operate from secure, fully equipped facilities in Mexico which allows them to have distance from home distractions. This controlled surrounding improves output, enhances concentration, and guarantees smooth processes. Our facilities have great perks, including a wellness room to ensure all your Remoties are motivated and giving their best. Clients can have a regular team structure and set-up without having to deal with numerous complications that come with working from home due to multi remote employees.
At Remote Team Solutions, your team has support from Onsite HR, IT, and Talent Development departments. Such resources enable effective onboarding, trainings and act as an extension of your own departments, replicating the robust support systems of an in-office environment. This level of engagement ensures that employees feel connected, supported, and aligned with your business objectives.
Unlike remote teams, our in-office model promotes social interaction, accountability, and team bonding.

This personal interaction fosters a cohesive culture that is difficult to achieve with traditional remote setups.
Our facilities are equipped with secure networks and advanced IT support, providing a reliable workspace for handling sensitive data. Companies can feel confident that their information is protected from security risks, offering a level of data protection that typical home networks can’t provide.

Our near-shore model allows businesses to scale affordably, focusing on growth without the overheads of managing their own infrastructure and office space.
