Businesses across the nation have sent employees home to work in recent weeks to follow stay-at-home guidelines, but will remote jobs continue to be available after the pandemic? Here’s what you can expect.
Nearly all non-essential workers who have full-time employment are now without work, or they have remote jobs. As a response to the worldwide coronavirus pandemic, businesses throughout the nation have strongly encouraged or required employees to work from home to adhere to their state’s stay-at-home guidelines. What does this mean for the future of working from home? Will everything return to the way it was once the pandemic passes?
It’s safe to say society and the business world will be impacted for a long time by the pandemic, but not all changes are necessarily negative. While in the past, working remotely was more of a luxury for people like CEOs and upper-level staff, now businesses are getting a taste of what it would be like to offer remote jobs and more flexibility to employees on a regular basis. And many like what they are seeing!
Bright Future for Remote Jobs
One of the factors likely to support a push for remote jobs even beyond the pandemic is productivity. Research shows remote employees are more engaged in their jobs and more productive than their traditional counterparts. Without the “water cooler” gossip and typical office banter and distractions, people working from home can get down to business and get stuff done faster.
No commute to work means they aren't frazzled and exhausted by the time they finally walk through the office doors and get settled into their desks. They can start their workdays fresher and more comfortable by simply making the commute from the bed to the living room or office—with a quick stop by the coffee pot, of course.
There’s something about giving employees more control over their work time and work location that helps them to achieve a better work-life balance, ultimately increasing performance and productivity. As more and more businesses begin to see these positive changes with an at-home workforce, it will undoubtedly influence how businesses choose to operate in a post-pandemic business world.
