Started by the pandemic and continued by the desire for so many employees to work at home, remote work is perhaps the biggest of all trends in the HR industry. Remote work is no longer the exception. On the contrary, it has become the norm for a large percentage of workers in just about every industry worldwide.
Working remotely has become one of the most coveted employee perks. At the same time, remote work has become quite an administrative challenge for every organization. HR is now responsible for managing people across multiple locations and time zones. And HR is accountable for ensuring remote workers are engaged and healthy and can access all human resource products and services.
On the other hand, it gives employers and HR the ability to access new and previously inaccessible talent pools while also helping reduce recruitment costs. In many ways, remote/hybrid work represents a new opportunity for HR to redefine its role within businesses.
