Working RemotelyRemote working is a topic that’s been on my mind a lot lately. First, because of a project I’ve been working on with Microsoft to develop an e-book, “Work Without Walls,” that examines the best practices of small and midsized businesses with remote-working policies. A survey conducted by 7th Sense Research that we used in preparing the e-book had some interesting results.
Among the small businesses surveyed:
- 60 % of employees said they could do their jobs remotely, and 72 percent prefer to work at home;
- 73 % of companies surveyed didn’t have a formal policy allowing employees to work remotely;
- just 14 % of employees said their employers were “fully supportive” of remote working.
By comparison, more than 50 percent of big companies in the survey
had formal remote-working policies in place.
