- Remote jobs are here to stay. Professionals remain confident in the job market, and having greater flexibility to choose where and when to work is a top motivator for making a move. Nearly 9 in 10 workers considering a job change (87%) are interested in hybrid or fully remote positions. And they have options: 28% of all new job postings in January 2023were advertised as remote, on par with 29% a year ago.* View Robert Half’s Demand for Skilled Talent report for insight on roles with the greatest percentage of remote opportunities.
- Work flexibility can lead to greater happiness. More than three-quarters of professionals (77%) who can work where and when they are most productive are putting in more hours now than three years ago. Despite longer workdays, 46% report higher job satisfaction.
- Some would sacrifice salary for more remote time. Nearly one-third of workers (32%) who go into the office at least one day a week are willing to take a pay cut for the ability to do their job remotely all the time. When asked by how much, the average response was 18%. Technology professionals (47%), 18- to 25-year-olds (42%) and working parents (41%) are most likely to accept a salary reduction to be fully remote.
- Being in the office has benefits. Nearly two-thirds of professionals (65%) said they have more effective relationships with colleagues they’ve met face-to-face versus those they have not. And more workers are comfortable collaborating in person (49%) than virtually (31%). Read about the benefits of working “in person with a purpose” in Robert Half’s Your Future Is Flexible report.
- Employees have career opportunities, wherever they are. Most managers (82%) who oversee hybrid teams feel in-office and remote employees have the same opportunities for career advancement. Yet, 42% of remote workers are concerned about being visible for project opportunities and promotions. Managers said the best ways for off-site employees to position themselves for growth are:
- Having regular career pathing conversations
- Expressing interest in professional development opportunities
- Volunteering to lead or contribute to projects..”
