The events of 2020 caused a major wake up call in the workforce. While working from home was at one point considered a luxury, within the last year it has transformed into a necessity. After months of stay-at-home orders, many businesses across the globe forfeited their office spaces and moved to a fully remote work model. Now more than ever, a large portion of the population is now able to reap the numerous benefits of working from home. Fast Chart recognizes these benefits which is why even prior to the pandemic our medical transcriptionist position has always been a remote position. Here are some of the top benefits of working from home.
A better work/life balance
One of the benefits of working from home is the ability to have a better work/life balance. Not only do you have a chance to multitask when necessary, but you’re also not forced to choose between work appointments and life’s obligations. Generally, those that work from home have a more flexible schedule. This is the case with a medical transcriptionist career. At Fast Chart, you aren’t confined to a 9-5 schedule, which allows for greater flexibility.
Work from anywhere
While Fast Chart prides itself on having an entirely US-based staff, you’re able to work in any city or state. No matter if you take a vacation or need to move, remote careers go where you go. On a smaller scale, there’s no need for an office when you work remotely. Whether it’s your kitchen table or your couch, you can work wherever you’d like.
No commute
One of the main benefits of working from home is the elimination of any sort of commute. This saves time and allows you to get straight to work whenever you feel like it. Nixing a commute is also eco friendly and decreases stress.
Diversity
When companies offer remote work, it allows for a broader range of jobs that are not limited by geographic location. By having the opportunity to hire from all different regions of the country, it creates more diversity within the company. Diversity in the workplace generates a higher level of understanding which in turn offers the best results for the consumer.
Saves money
Remote work cuts costs for the employer and the employee. The pandemic forced businesses to save money by any means necessary, so for many companies, the office was one of the first things to go. Employees can save on a multitude of expenses including gas, and work clothes.
Productivity
One of the most important benefits of working from home is the increased productivity associated with remote work. Surveys have shown that 65% of professionals think they would be more productive working remotely. By working from the comfort of the home there are fewer distractions and interruptions which allow for more time focused solely on the task at hand. The quantity of time spent working does not equate with the quality of work, so when an employee only has to worry about getting their work done instead of devoting long hours at the office, the overall performance is elevated.
