Office spaces and traditional office concepts are changing. While many people may not like the idea of working from home or in ‘virtual’ offices, they really shouldn’t be quick to dismiss this rather distributed work trend.

Virtual offices can make a lot of business sense for organizations and individuals, especially when you want to save on costs while maintaining your efficiency and productivity. Here is why:

1. Saving Money On Office Space Expenses

Not everyone needs an entire building for their team to sit in every day; sometimes, all it takes is enough room for one desk and computer.

This means that if you’re renting out a small commercial space, but most employees won’t even step foot in the premises for days at a time, there’s nothing you can do but waste money. Virtual offices in Malaysia are very popular due to the lower real estate costs compared to many other developed cities.

2. Flexible Working Hours

We all seem to want more flexibility in our lives at this point, so why not take it a step further and structure your team around those same principles? With virtual teams dispersed across the country (and sometimes across borders), there is no need for them to be sitting stiffly behind their desks from 9-5 every single day.

Yes, I've only gone and been recognised by a big site again - yeay me! Lifehack have put up a list of productivity related blogs, called 50+ Personal Productivity Blogs You've Never Heard of Before (and about a dozen you probably have) and they've featured yours truly in the list.

Through online collaboration tools and software applications that keep everyone connected, you can easily remain productive even if you’re only spending 3 or 4 hours in front of your screen.

This makes sense for both employers and employees, as the former gets to save on office space while also paying less in salary to individuals who can work from home. They get to spend time with their families while the latter has more flexibility in what they do and how much time they spend working each day.

3. Easier Communication And Team-Building Opportunities

With a Virtual office in Malaysia, there are some hurdles to overcome. The first is that it’s not as easy to make everyone feel like part of one big team when they are working remotely.

From Passion To Profit

However, people have more opportunities to collaborate with their fellow teammates rather than just being isolated in their own office space. This can be done through video conferencing solutions where more involved discussions on work-related matters can take place face-to-face or even by bringing employees together on company retreats where there are plenty of activities for them to bond over.

4. Flexible Staffing Levels

You have complete control over how many people you want to work for your organization at any given time. This means that if you need a lot of manpower to take care of a big project, you can pull together as many team members as quickly as possible.

If you find that your workload has decreased for some reason, then you can scale back staff numbers accordingly. This means you’ll spend less time looking around for people to hire and more time focusing on the work itself.

5. Reduced Training Costs

Having a bigger organization usually means having larger budgets dedicated to staff training. With Virtual offices in Malaysia, it’s usually much easier to onboard new employees because they are already familiar with their roles when they join the company. They may have even been working with other teammates under their old employer before making the switch.

Since there is no need for them to attend physical workspaces every day, you won’t have to worry about incurring expenses for providing them with company equipment, space, or administrative services.

Conclusion

Virtual offices and employees offer a lot of advantages for businesses and individuals alike. It’s not about if they should be considered, but how successful they will be over the long term.
