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:

Reduced Productivity and Increased Distractions:

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.

Creativity and Innovation:

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.

Isolation and Limited Team Cohesion:

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.

Security Concerns

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.

Limited Career Growth Opportunities

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.

Real-Life Examples: Why Clients Choose Remote Team Solutions

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.
