It’s 2024, the digital age is well on its way with so many advancements it is hard to keep track of. For lawyers, this has come with a variety of tools and software that have allowed them to not only work from their offices but from pretty much anywhere. This has quickly changed the generally negative perception associated with working remotely.
Thanks to its flexibility, many attorneys find themselves able to maintain the high standards associated with their practice. Furthermore, working remotely has allowed them to embrace working with offshore employees. Thanks to its cost-effectiveness and efficiency. That’s why we are joining the “Work from Home Day” annual celebration (May 17th), to highlight the benefits you and your team can leverage when working from their homes.
Why Are Lawyers Thriving with Remote Work?
Legal leaders are always on the lookout for new ways to streamline their practices and increase their overall efficacy. From new software implementation to working with virtual assistants (VAs). This has allowed attorneys to start delegating more while focusing on critical legal work.
One of the biggest selling points for law firm owners who start working with remote employees is how “cost-effective” it is. Starting without worrying about office space and equipment. VAs work with their own equipment and workspace. This quality has allowed many owners to save money on overhead costs (the average law firm typically spends between 9% and 12% of their overhead costs on rent for office space) while still getting great results and support from their offshore team. Think of the many ways you could be reinvesting that saved money, for example, buying new software, going on vacation, securing a sponsorship deal for an upcoming tradeshow, etc.
Why Are Employees Thriving in Remote Environments?
Working from home has allowed offshore employees the flexibility and opportunity to continue their professional careers while avoiding commuting and being more productive. Despite having “distractions” closer to their workspace, it’s been proven that professional remote workers are more likely to put in extra effort to get the job done. Making it much easier to attain a healthy work-life balance schedule. Being proficient and reliable has become a distinctive trait for incredible virtual assistants who are building a better life, thanks to offshore opportunities.
How to Celebrate Work from Home Day
To leverage this special day, lawyers can further strengthen the bond with their offshore team by boosting morale and showcasing special appreciation. Whether through virtual coffee or lunch breaks or fun and engaging team-building activities, attorneys can acknowledge the valuable contributions every virtual assistant brings to their firm.
There you have it, a great way for law firm owners and legal professionals to set themselves up for success when growing is through smart offshore hiring. So, let’s celebrate Work from Home Day! Taking proactive steps toward improving your work-life balance and maximizing your professional potential with smarter solutions.
