Impact of Remote Work on Company Culture

Remote work has created a fundamental shift in business culture, and the Ooma team created a graphic demonstrating that a company’s age can indicate how likely a business is to adapt to remote work. Their analysis revealed that 35% of workers had remote jobs in 2023 compared to 23% in 2019. It’s obvious that the COVID-19 pandemic caused this shift. Looking at the team’s numbers, newer companies seem more likely to embrace remote work. Almost 44% of businesses under two years old support work-from-home options, suggesting they could design their work models on remote possibilities.

Employees at Apple are not happy with the company’s new work policy, that requires them to return to the office three days a week starting in early September. In opposition to the policy, the employees are demanding a flexible approach, so that only those who want to work remote are allowed to do so.

 

The employees wrote a letter to the company where they addressed their concerns, saying that some of their colleagues have already quitted due to the conversation around Apple’s new policy. “Without the inclusivity that flexibility brings, many of us feel we have to choose between either a combination of our families, our well-being, and being empowered to do our best work, or being a part of Apple,” the letter read.

Securing the WFH Workforce of the Future

If your business is still using multi-factor authentication (MFA) as a security measure, you need to know that it’s not working for you.  You may have already guessed this since cybercrime is up by 300% since early 2020.  Since 62% of the American workforce made the sudden switch to remote work at the beginning of the pandemic, 20% of businesses have experienced a cyber security breach which could be linked back to their remote employees. 


Remote work has ramped up the cyber vulnerabilities as employees are potentially working from unsecured networks or spotty WiFi, on personal devices which may not have security protocols in place, and they’re connecting to corporate networks remotely, which adds another area for cyber criminals to exploit.

Trends in American workers working permanently remote

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many people in America into full-time remote work over the past year whether they liked it or not. As we start to turn the page on the pandemic, many American workers are considering staying remote if their employer lets them as a permanent working option. Because of this, many people are considering moving from their current location with their newfound freedom to work and live where they like. 


CraftJack recently surveyed 2,888 American workers to learn more about their feelings towards permanent remote work, where they would move if given an option and compensation if relocating. They were eager to see if many Americans would leave the cities they live in currently for more secluded rural locations. 


The survey began by asking a simple question to American workers. Would you move elsewhere, if given the opportunity by your employer to work remotely on a permanent basis. The survey found that a resounding majority of Americans (61 percent) said they would move elsewhere if full time remote work was an option. Looking at the most populated cities in America, CraftJack asked what percentage of people living in that city would move if work was permanently remote.
