Remote Access

Driven in large part by the globalization of technology, focus on a healthier work-life balance, and an increase in the number of millennials entering the workforce, we are increasingly seeing companies across the globe offer their employees the option to work remotely. Not surprisingly, a recent survey from Bayt.com found that 79% of professionals in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region would actually prefer to work for companies that offer a remote working option. Offering employees the opportunity to work remotely can actually work to the advantage of the organization. According to Gartner, “by 2020, organizations that support a ‘choose-your-own-work-style’ culture will boost employee retention rates by more than 10%.”
