The pandemic crisis that has hit the workforce is continuing with no signs of slowing down. It forced non-essential workers to work from home, telecommute, or have a virtual office that is more collective workspace than a traditional office. This trend has been accelerated by the advent of a digital world, a world where work and rest cycles are two different activities co-existing together in the same space.

It is highly beneficial for everyone, especially for the business sector. This hybrid work culture solves today's workforce's problems by integrating technology to make them more efficient and productive. It also gives workers more flexibility in their time, allowing them to focus on their responsibilities without compromising the results of their tasks.

The thing is, many employers spend a lot of time and energy finding the best combination of technologies to make efficient use of their employees' work. They are considering the technical aspects and things like how to schedule work, what type of tools should be used, and what roles talents come in contact with. As a result, they spend too much time and resources acquiring irrelevant technology in their business model.

What's the best way to avoid this costly and inefficient mistake?

Digital recruiters should use an online digital platform that will help them generate automated reports. Other than that, boost your team's productivity through these things:

1) Know the hidden perks of the hybrid work culture

These days, Australian talents have been working from home or from a workplace that is far from their actual office. They get to do the same tasks they did before but with a lot more flexibility. The best part? They're not sitting in traffic jams anymore, saving 20% of their travel time alone!

As per the State of Remote Work report, roughly 80% opt for a hybrid working environment. This new attitude is spreading to other industries as well. Undoubtedly, the workforce's demand for flexible working arrangements has some serious applications on anyone's business.

2) Use technology to your advantage

Are you still trying to squeeze more productivity out of your talents? Then, consider these ways on how you can help them use time more efficiently:

*Ask for feedback on their daily tasks, thus creating an open communication channel between you and them through their daily status updates. Apps like Slack, WhatsApp, and Trello can be a great way to keep your team connected.

*Don't waste time explaining if they can or cannot accomplish a certain task by themselves. Instead, focus more on how they can leverage technology to do so. Show them how their jobs could be done with a click of a button using your company's tools.

*Provide them with resources, especially an online resource that has everything from project templates to web tutorials. Apps like Google Drive are great tools to create, edit, share, and store documents, presentations, videos, images, and other files.

3) Reap the benefit of collaboration

Make use of technology to get your ideas out there. Given the opportunity to work remotely has made it easier for IT contractors to connect. For example, they can have group meetings through video conferencing apps like Skype or Google Hangouts.

4) Make sure you are perfecting your communication

Every digital recruiter should start this process by getting his team to choose the best tools that they'd need for working remotely. This means creating a digital platform wherein your workers can share ideas, communicate their tasks, and reply to their conversations.

It would also help to provide them with unlimited internet access to do their job well. It is also important that you give them the best technology. If they need to share files or emails, they can do it more efficiently through cloud storage services like Dropbox, Box, and Google Drive.

There are various ways that digital recruitment companies  can run a hybrid team efficiently and effectively, but only if the talents are willing to invest in their own productivity.

Do you still think that working remotely is not for everyone? Think again. The future of work is more flexible and accessible than ever before.
