Technology in the modern workplace makes it easier than ever before to connect across distances. With a voice over internet protocol (VoIP) phone system in your office, it's easy to interface with clients, other businesses, and even your employees working remotely. Providing a VoIP connection to your employees who work from home offers benefits not only for them but for the company.

Why Use VoIP to Enable Working from Home

1. Attract Employees

The modern employee is looking for flexibility in scheduling and a shorter commute. Working from home solves both of these issues and can also help your employees feel trusted and valued. When you offer this option, it will be easier to attract talent, and you'll also enjoy a lower turnover rate due to greater employee loyalty.

2. Cut Costs

The more employees who come into the office, the more money you spend keeping the place running. You'll have to pay for more electricity and data use, buy more computers and other equipment, and in some cases, lease a larger space to accommodate everyone. The more your employees work from home or telecommute as necessary, the more desk space and computer equipment you can free up.

3. Increase Engagement & Productivity

Many employers worry about offering work-from-home options because they're concerned their employees won’t be as productive. However, employees are often more engaged this way. They feel valued by the company, are in an environment where they're comfortable, and have more control over their schedules. There are even benefits for positions like sales, such as less background noise when making calls.
