Let&#8217;s look into what the research shows.\n\nIt\u2019s not a surprise that we have seen a huge shift in the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/blog\/remote-working-guide\/\">world of remote working<\/a>.\n\nBusinesses have adapted to remote work models that, while popular in certain sectors previously, have never been required on such a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/how-global-teams-can-transform-your-business\/\">global scale<\/a> across all industries before.\n\nLuckily for us, the technology and <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/blog\/remote-working-software\/\">remote collaborative tools<\/a> currently available have made the shift to remote working easy, not only changing the way we think about remote work but showing us how simple and beneficial it can be.\n\nIn the past, many industries embraced \u201cwork from home\u201d days to help their staff <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/blog\/work-life-balance-while-working-from-home\/\">achieve a better work-life balance<\/a>. The \u201cperk\u201d of remote working, however, is quickly becoming a necessity.\n\nRunning almost concurrent with the shift of traditional work set-ups to remote working is the rise of the gig economy style of work which is essentially made for remote work conditions. Co-working spaces are everywhere making remote working more accessible.\n\nThe idea of being a digital nomad, working from wherever you like in the world is both appealing and very possible. Some of the largest companies in the world have said that flexi will be a permanent fixture.\n\nWhile companies do not have to offer remote work options, the statistics tell us they should. The <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/blog\/work-from-home-trends\/\">trends of remote working<\/a> actually tell us quite a lot.\n\nThe following global workplace analytics show how remote working can affect productivity, earnings and more, so let\u2019s take a deep dive to understand everything we can about the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/guide-to-future-working-trends\/\">future of the workplace<\/a>.\n<h2 id=\"1-remote-work-statistics-for-employers\">1. Remote work statistics for employers<\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Remote work statistic for employers.\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15504\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/EH_0007_InfographicsRemoteWorking_Section1-2-1.png\" width=\"768\"\/>\n\nThe growing demand for remote work offers some significant benefits for employees, but it is also good news for employers.\n\nWhile some managers struggle with the idea of trusting employees while working from home, there are a few key reasons why management should be more than happy to adopt this new remote working system.\n\nThe first of which is the fact that remote workers are often more engaged. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallup.com\/workplace\/\">Gallup State of the Workplace report<\/a> shows us that engagement levels are higher for remote workers at 32% compared to office workers at 28%.\n\nThe study also suggests that remote workers feel a greater sense of belonging and communicate more frequently with their teams online.\n\nThe key is establishing OKRs around remote working to ensure everyone feels more comfortable with those who work from home.\n\nJob satisfaction and retention rates also increase due to remote working according to <a href=\"https:\/\/owllabs.co.uk\/state-of-hybrid-work\/2024\">Owl Labs\u2019 2024 State of Remote Work report <\/a>which states that workers who couldn\u2019t operate remotely are more than 47% likely to leave their role.\n\nThis survey also mentioned that remote workers only take two or three weeks of vacation time per year. The flexibility and control that remote work offers over their schedules reduces stress and leads to less time off required.\n\nThinking of transitioning into remote work?

Remote work statistics for employees<\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Trends in remote work growth\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15506\" height=\"612\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/EH_0007_InfographicsRemoteWorking_Section2-2-2048x1633-1.png\" width=\"768\"\/>\n\nThere are many obvious perks to the ability to work from home such as schedule flexibility, low or no transport costs and more time with family, but there has also been an increase in the number of remote work positions in the job market.\n\nThe State of Hybrid Work Study showed remote workers display \u201chigher levels of job satisfaction and reduced levels of burnout and psychological stress.\u201d\n\nThe final significant point, as shown by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flexjobs.com\/2017-State-of-Telecommuting-US\/\">report about Global Workplace Analytics<\/a>, is the higher salary of remote workers whose average annual income is over \u00a33,000 higher than office-based workers. Remote workers save around \u00a35,000 a year in operating costs as well due to the lesser commute requirements of remote work.\n<h2 id=\"3-remote-work-and-productivity-statistics\">3. Remote work and productivity statistics<\/h2>\nOne very clear and common stat associated with remote working is increased productivity, which both the employee and the company should be extremely happy about.\n\nIt is the management team\u2019s responsibility to <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/blog\/support-remote-employee-wellbeing\/\">ensure those who are remote working are safe<\/a>, be it those who work remotely full time or those working remotely at least once a week.\n\nA groundbreaking<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsb.stanford.edu\/insights\/researchers-flexibility-may-be-key-increased-productivity\"> Stanford study <\/a>analysed the performance of people working remotely for a billion-pound NASDAQ-listed company which showed that remote working increased employee performance by 13% as they took shorter breaks and had a less distracting work environment.\n\nFurther <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2014\/10\/balancing-we-and-me-the-best-collaborative-spaces-also-support-solitude\">research found that <\/a>the remote work environment has a very clear effect on employees\u2019 concentration with the number of workers who claim a lack of attention at their office-based desk increasing by 16% over the last five-year period.\n\nThe aforementioned State of Remote Work report also showed that remote workers work more than 40 hours a week, by choice, as they actually like what they do.\n\nThere are a range of tools for those remote working to boost productivity. This is a learned behaviour that those who intend on working from home more in the future need to adapt to.\n<h2 id=\"4-the-sectors-that-see-the-most-remote-work\">4. The sectors that see the most remote work<\/h2>\nThe Office for National Statistics found that remote work is most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ons.gov.uk\/employmentandlabourmarket\/peopleinwork\/employmentandemployeetypes\/articles\/characteristicsofhomeworkersgreatbritain\/september2022tojanuary2023#:~:text=Workers%20in%20the%20highest%20income,compared%20with%20employees%20(14%25).\">common in areas with high-income levels <\/a>which is likely linked to the fact that remote work pays higher salaries. There also needs to be a link between the job role and the actual ability to work remotely, which is why software engineering and accounting roles see the highest rates.\n\nObviously, most blue-collar jobs simply cannot <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/first-100-days-remote-job\/\">transition to a remote work-from-home work style<\/a>. Remote work is simply not possible for all sectors, but advancements in technology are bridging the gap.\n\nEven if there is the option to work at least part of the day remotely, a better work-life balance can be achieved, and employees agree this flexible schedule option is favoured across all sectors.\n\nStatistics from around the world suggest that we will see a boost in all of these reported figures as more employees work remotely.\n<h2 id=\"5-healthier-workers-and-environment-statistics\">5. Healthier workers and environment statistics<\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Healthier workers and environment statistics.\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15507\" height=\"777\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/EH_0007_InfographicsRemoteWorking_Section3-2-2025x2048-1.jpg\" width=\"768\"\/>\n\nRemote workers take fewer sick days, and those working remotely report 56 % fewer absences overall. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flexjobs.com\/blog\/post\/survey-flexible-work-mental-health\/\">Work-Life-Relationship survey<\/a>s show that 89 % of those who took part felt they were able to take better care of themselves.\n\nThe health of the planet also improves with more people working from home as we see a reduction in traffic congestion and air pollution, as well as less road wear and tear as the number of people who commute into an office drops.\n\nRemote work telecommuters have reduced the equivalent of 600,000 cars on the road for a year\u2019s worth of greenhouse gas emissions.\n<h2 id=\"6-remote-work-and-the-impact-on-real-estate-statistics\">6. Remote work and the impact on real estate statistics<\/h2>\nA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zillow.com\/research\/commutes-remote-work-chtr-26506\/\">report from Zillow<\/a> found that homebuyers who work remotely considered this as a major part of their decision to move to a different house or completely different location altogether. 30% of buyers surveyed capped their commute to between 15 and 29 minutes to work with only 12% willing to commute for an hour.\n\nGen Z and millennial homebuyers were a little different as 62 % of them work remotely at least one day per week, seeing a huge drop in the feeling of needing to live near a large metropolitan city centre to improve their career potential.\n\nRemote work arguably offers more job opportunities in the fields that these younger generations are interested in.\n<h2 id=\"7-global-workplace-analytics-and-statistics\">7.

Many more workers would work from home at least some of the time if it was offered to them.\n\nWhen people work from home, they have fewer distractions and end up working more days a week.\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelperk.com\/uk\/blog\/remote-work-burnout-statistics\/\">72% of remote workers<\/a> say they are less likely to request time off when working from home.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Remote employees take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrdive.com\/news\/remote-workers-less-likely-to-take-vacation\/692711\/\">5.5% less vacation per year<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s10869-018-9530-4\">Highly complex tasks <\/a>are completed by more productive workers when performed remotely versus in an office.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Email, instant messaging, and video chat are the main methods of communication for remote workers.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Remote work means the ability to work from anywhere, but 84% of remote employees choose to work from home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"8-benefits-and-challenges-of-remote-working\">8. Benefits and challenges of remote working<\/h2>\nSome people could quite fairly argue that a work-from-home situation offers both pros and cons. For example, while paid higher on average, the majority pool of remote workers (74%) earn less than \u00a3800,000.\n\nWhile less than 34% say that they would take a pay cut of 5% as a trade-off for the ability to work remotely full-time, a massive 69% of millennials are also willing to trade other benefits for a flexible remote work option.\n\nAround 75 % of people who work from home are not compensated by their company for internet costs, but they do save upwards of \u00a34,000 annually on work expenses and travel costs.\n\nThe expense of a co-working space is rarely compensated by an employer despite the fact that businesses would save an average of \u00a38,500 a year if every employee worked remotely at least part-time.\n\nRemote work employees can feel disconnected from their teams and around 22% report that unplugging after work is a serious challenge. Around 19 % of remote work employees report feeling lonely, and less than half of the remote workforce has received <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20200122005406\/en\/\">the correct level of internet security training<\/a>.\n<h2 id=\"9-how-to-balance-remote-workers-and-in-office-workers\">9. How to balance remote workers and in-office workers<\/h2>\nCompanies are now faced with the challenge of supporting office and remote workers. Two sets of employees with very different needs.\n\nAs the statistics clearly state, remote working is on the rise. A fully remote team requires tools like time tracking and productivity software, whereas in-office employees need facilities.\n\nThis should not stop a business from embracing some form of remote work, however, as the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/blog\/measure-productivity-remote-employees\/\">benefits of greater productivity<\/a> and lower overheads far outweigh the added managerial pressure.\n\nWhile the statistics back up the fact that remote working offers a range of benefits, there will still be many employees who do not wish to work from home.\n\nSome companies such as 91±¬ΑΟ offer a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/hybrid-working-policy\/\">remote-first hybrid approach<\/a> to remote working where employees who need flexibility and focus can work from home, but the option to come to the office is available, and this is seen as a social hub where employees can come for meetings and engage in person.\n<h2 id=\"how-employment-hero-can-help\">How 91±¬ΑΟ can help<\/h2>\nAround 41% of global businesses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peoplebox.ai\/blog\/the-rise-of-remote-working-present-future\/\">already offer some level of remote working<\/a>, with 60 % allowing employees to choose their start and end times.\n\nThe future will likely see all remote working numbers increase and 91±¬ΑΟ, the world\u2019s first employment OS can help to streamline your remote working processes. For this reason, it is important to <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/blog\/remote-working-guide\/\">prepare your employees for the possibility of working from home<\/a>.\n\nThe <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/distributed-workforce-playbook\/\">benefits of remote work employees<\/a> across the board cannot be denied.
