The emergence of remote work has brought about a paradigm shift in the way we perceive the traditional office setup. Consequently, the perks and benefits that employees seek have also undergone a transformation. In this context, it’s important to highlight the top five benefits remote workers are prioritizing in their work setups.
1. Flexible Hours: One of the biggest advantages of remote work is the ability to work around your schedule. Whether you’re a morning person or a night owl, you can customize your work hours to your liking. You can schedule meetings around personal commitments like medical appointments.
2. Provided Equipment: Remote workers often use their own personal devices to work. However, providing necessary equipment such as laptops, monitors, and headsets can help ensure that employees have the proper tools to do their job and avoid any potential technical issues.
3. Home Office Allowance: Creating a comfortable workspace is essential to remote work success. Providing a paid allowance for home office expenses such as furniture, lighting, and décor can help employees feel more comfortable and focused while working from home. Employers should provide a signed T2200 tax form at the end of each year. This will allow employees to deduct their home office expenses against any paid allowance thereby ensuring that the allowance is tax free.
4. Virtual Team Bonding Activities: Remote work can often feel isolating. Virtual team bonding activities such as virtual happy hours, online game nights, and team challenges can help remote workers feel more connected to their colleagues and boost morale.
5. Internet Assistance: A reliable internet connection is crucial for remote work. Providing internet can ensure that employees can perform their job duties uninterrupted.
