While remote employees often benefit a business when they’re effective, there is inherent risk that businesses must assume when they open the door to this form of work. Even after a world crisis that required the safety of employees be prioritized through remote work, more and more businesses are continuing hiring remote employees. Meaning businesses are also continuing to attempt to find additional value out of remote work and their remote employees while simultaneously attempting to mitigate the aforementioned risk. For example, many managers may feel they’re more effective at communicating with their staff when they’re in person, meaning while working remotely, there can be some miscommunication opportunities. This can harm the collaborative nature of certain operations and procedures, meaning many managers need to find ways to adjust their strategies in order to avoid this. While there can be some operational issues to resolve, often times the toughest of challenges comes from additional liability that remote employees bring to their businesses. The worst of these situations typically comes in the form of a network breach due to an employee’s poor security protocol, which without the right insurance policy can spell disaster for any business. Though it’s clear that remote work provides benefit to employees, businesses must prepare and defend themselves accordingly to ensure that value is mutual.
