Hybrid Mail for Homeworkers
There’s been a 27% increase in the numbers of homeworkers in the last decade and whilst we still have a long way to go to achieve fully flexible working, the numbers continue to increase. In this world of high connectivity and instant communication, homeworking can deliver a number of benefits over office based working. Recent surveys list the following top benefits of working from home:
Improvements in staff morale – homeworkers report an improvement in their sense of wellbeing, avoiding the daily commute and office politics can reduce feelings of stress and anxiety
Higher productivity - some homeworkers benefit from being away from the distractions of the office environment and can more easily give their full attention to the tasks in hand
Wider talent pool – employers aren’t limited to the local population for recruitment and have a much wider talent pool to select from
It’s greener – the reduction in daily commuting can only be good for the environment
Reduced cost of office space - Prime office space is expensive but if an employer is committed to homeworking they'll need less of it
But, there are some things you can’t do easily if you’re working from home
Whilst there are many things homeworkers can do just as well and efficiently as their office based colleagues, some need the ability to produce printed and mailed documents. It’s easy if you have only one or two to send occasionally, but if it’s a daily task and sometimes involves producing documents in bulk, then doing it from home becomes less practical. In most cases, it would either have to be done from the office, which means going into work, or you have to seek help from colleagues to get the task done. That’s where VMR’s Hybrid Mail service can help. Available 24 hours a day 7 days a week, you can send your postal items easily and quickly without leaving your desk with just a few clicks of the mouse. Find out more about Hybrid Mail here
