Flexibility and Freedom: The Rise of Remote Work ??

Why is Remote Working a Win-Win for Employees and Employers? ??

Welcome to this week's edition of our LinkedIn newsletter!

Today, we're diving into one of the most significant trends in the modern workplace: remote working. This is Part 1 of our two-part series where we explore the benefits of remote work from the employees' perspective.

Remote working has become a mainstay in the past few years, even before the global pandemic. Many employees now prefer working from home over the traditional office setup.

Here are some of the most popular benefits for employees:

1. Flexibility ??

With a remote job, you can often choose your own hours and work from anywhere in the world. This increased flexibility can lead to a better work-life balance. A Deloitte survey of 1,000 US professionals revealed that 94% of respondents would benefit from work flexibility, noting reduced stress and better integration of work and personal life.

2. Better Work-Life Balance ??

Zurich Insurance Company saw a 20% increase in women applying for management roles after offering part-time, job-share, or flexible working options. Additionally, the number of women hired for senior positions role by 33%. A World Economic Forum study found that employees with flexible work arrangements are happier and more productive, leading to more profitable companies.

3. Reduced Expenses ??

Remote working can significantly cut daily expenses. For instance, US commuters spend between $3,000 and $15,000 annually on transportation. Full-time workers in major cities lose nearly an hour daily due to commuting. Working from home can also save on childcare costs.

These are just a few reasons why remote working benefits employees. With the plethora of collaboration tools and meeting apps available today, offering such flexibility makes job listings more attractive to current job seekers.
