The company, which was one of the pioneers of the remote work culture, said its decision was an attempt to &#8220;improve collaboration.&#8221; But even as we debate whether this move is going to mean gloom and doom for the organization, we&#8217;re seeing companies with all-remote teams flourish and thrive. Companies are starting to hire <a href=\"http:\/\/kolabtree.com\/find-an-expert?utm_source=blog_VirtualEmployees\">virtual employees<\/a> because of the benefits it offers in terms of cost as well as access to talent.<\/p>\n<p>Take Buffer, for example, the popular social media analytics tool, which had over 1,000,000\u00a0users as of September 2013. At the time, their team comprised <a href=\"http:\/\/joel.is\/the-joys-and-benefits-of-working-as-a-distributed-team\/\">12 members based in four different continents<\/a>! Today, Buffer&#8217;s team consists of 75 people working in 50 cities. The Wikimedia Foundation, the organization behind Wikipedia, regularly hires remote workers for various roles, as does Github \u2013\u00a0both head-quartered in San Francisco. Flexjobs, which helps job seekers find telecommute jobs, is a 100% remote team and is spread across six different time zones.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>As a company spread across three time zones, at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/?utm_source=blog_VirtualEmployees\">Kolabtree<\/a>, we have experienced for ourselves the benefits of having virtual employees. Our job is to help businesses and academia consult scientists from all over the world \u2013 and we&#8217;ve been witness to some really surprising collaborations across borders. Here&#8217;s why we think businesses should hire virtual employees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Access_to_talent\"><\/span><b>1. Access to talent\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div>Undoubtedly, the biggest advantage of hiring virtual employees is being able to hire the best talent, independent of location. Hiring remote workers allows you to choose your employees and build a robust team without having to compromise. By encouraging remote work, your business is opening its doors to a global pool of talent, allowing you to work with developers from San Francisco, designers from India, artists from Italy, or communication experts from the UK.<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>At Kolabtree, we&#8217;ve helped businesses around the world <a href=\"http:\/\/kolabtree.com\/find-an-expert?utm_source=blog_VirtualEmployees\">consult scientists and academia<\/a>. We&#8217;ve seen an Amazon reseller in the USA get help predicting his sales from a data scientist in the UK. We&#8217;ve helped a world-renowned speaker consult a scientist for scientific information to back his TEDx talk. There are thousands of businesses out there, who need to access a specific skill or specialization, but are bound by geographical restrictions. Hiring remote workers gives you the ability to access exactly what you&#8217;re looking for, with all those job description parameters checked. If you hire virtual employees, you also access low cost offshore workers, without compromising on quality\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/biz30.timedoctor.com\/hire-remote-workers\/\">here<\/a>&#8216;s how TimeDoctor does it.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2300\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2300\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/meri-sorgaard-145073-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"hire-virtual-employees\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/meri-sorgaard-145073-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/meri-sorgaard-145073-150x150@2x.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/meri-sorgaard-145073-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/meri-sorgaard-145073-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/meri-sorgaard-145073-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/meri-sorgaard-145073-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/meri-sorgaard-145073-1080x1080.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/meri-sorgaard-145073-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/meri-sorgaard-145073-48x48.jpg 48w, https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/meri-sorgaard-145073-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/meri-sorgaard-145073-300x300@2x.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2300\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hire virtual employees to have access to otherwise inaccessible talent.

As remote work offers greater flexibility and better work-life balance, this is not a surprising conclusion. Of course, one of the biggest perks of working from home for most people is saying goodbye to the long and painful commute, saving time and energy. Away from the distraction of office gossip, endless interruptions, annoying co-workers and ringing phones, virtual workers feel more at peace when allowed to work from home, which increases their capacity to focus.<\/div>\n<div>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/victorlipman\/2016\/05\/02\/are-remote-workers-happier-and-more-productive-new-survey-offers-answers\/#51faf51e6663\">recent survey<\/a>, 91% of remote workers felt they were more productive and happier working from home than at an office.\u00a0\u00a0Having the ability to work remotely is also based on one key factor: <em><strong>trust<\/strong><\/em>.
