Remote working has really come of age in the last two years. While many people have loved it, others have realised they prefer an office environment. But would you be able to guess how many people would like to work remotely permanently?
Remote working has truly come of age over the past two years. While many employees have thrived working from home, others miss the office environment. But can you guess how many would prefer to work remotely permanently?
According to a recent report, a staggering 96% of employees want to work solely from home even after the pandemic ends. What’s more surprising is that a third of these employees are willing to sacrifice up to half their salary to maintain remote work — including giving up health benefits and paid time off.
This highlights just how important work-life balance has become. For many, remote work has reduced stress, eliminated long commutes, and boosted overall well-being. As things return to “normal,” these workers are not eager to give up these gains.
As an employer, offering flexible remote or hybrid work options can be a win-win:
While trust and cost savings are important, businesses must also invest in robust remote work security and technology:
The same report found that nearly 2 in 5 employees feel ignored in video meetings. Investing in professional webcams, microphones, and headsets can greatly enhance video call quality, ensuring everyone feels seen and heard.
Finally, don’t overlook hardware upgrades. Older laptops and desktops should be refreshed every few years to maintain performance, security, and employee satisfaction.
