Why Remote Work Is The Future Of International Business
Posted: Dec 20, 2018
Most businesses have changed how they generate sales and how they hire new employees compared to 20 years ago. With the growth of the internet, new opportunities and the connectedness of people around the globe has meant that people can now work for anyone from anywhere in the world.
There is now a need for a certain type of jobs website that caters for remote workers. The reason for this need is the fact that businesses now need a diversified skill set.
In the past a financial company only needed people who are skilled with financial skills only. Now international companies need people with sales skills, marketing skills and language skills in order to compete with their competition. To compete internationally, companies need to be able to market their businesses online internationally, create content in various languages, provide customer service in various languages and have IT skills to compete with competitors who provide customers with an experience.
The main types of freelancing skills that businesses seek include customer services, marketing, graphic design and IT. Customer services is essential for the simple reason that international businesses can now sell into non speaking countries. As other countries like China are becoming more globalised there is now an opportunity for companies to sell there. However, for most companies, the lack of fluent speakers is a big problem for most. Hiring experienced online marketers, IT engineers and graphic designers is another problem that companies have when hiring new staff.
Having to expatriate an employee is now no longer a necessity for companies who are looking to expand into new countries. Companies can simply find freelancers to help them out in the areas that they may be weak in. in times before, expatriation was necessary to grow companies into new markets and involved having to pay an employee to move including the move of that persons family which was a major expense for most companies.
Through the growth of the internet, freelancing has become very easy for skilled people to work on their own or to seek work right from their home. The future is bright for skilled people who prefer to work hours that best suit them rather than a typical 9-5 daily job. This flexibility is what the internet has made possible for workers on a global scale. No matter where you live, as long as you have an internet connection, you can contribute to a company's success and help build your own portfolio and reputation as a worker.
As a result of this mobilisation of remote workers, there are huge advantages for companies including the fact that they can take advantage of skilled labour from around the world, they do not have to hire on a permanent basis and they do not have to invest in extra work station equipment.
There are so many online payment methods now available for companies and employees to take advantage of. Freelancers can potentially get paid really quickly for the work that they do and for this reason it makes freelancing a favourable employment opportunity.
Remote work is the future for international business. It reduces the risks of employing people on a permanent basis, technically costs less and is a great source of revenue growth.
