People like the benefits of cutting back on commuting and having more flexibility in their lives. Hence, they’re more inclined to efficiently do their jobs and ensure remote work continues to be available to them.
Meanwhile, Wharton School of University of Pennsylvania’s associate management professor Matthew Bidwell estimates that 80% to 90% of staffers conduct themselves responsibly while working remotely.
The way of the future
Today, more people in the job market are seeking employment opportunities that allow for remote work or, at the very least, a hybrid work model. Employers who continue to resist this manner of working may find it harder to recuit new talent.
Remote work is also typically commonplace amongst freelancers and independent contractors. These folks may have several clients on their roster at one time, setting their own work hours and locations accordingly.
All things considered, it’s safe to say remote work isn’t going anywhere. In fact, the years ahead are likely to see more folks working from home and otherwise avoiding the daily commute of heading into an office.
