Did you know – younger generations support remote teams

Peter du ToitI'm the founder of FutureWork IQ where I spend my time assisting businesses to design digital workplaces or “offices in the cloud.” These environments enable companies to allow flexible and remote working for their teams. I also teach the digital literacy, fluency, communication and collaboration skills needed to work in these modern technology-rich workplaces.

By 2028, a study shows 73 percent of all departments [US] will have remote workers.

“As younger generations ascend in the workforce and become the majority of managers in corporate America they’ll reshape work as we know it. We know already that the most in-demand professionals place high value on flexibility. For example, the youngest generations are most likely to freelance. And professionals craving flexibility will increasingly have managers who not only understand this priority but will themselves expect it. We see this clear trend towards more flexible, remote work on the hiring side already based on this year’s Future Workforce Report.” — Stephane Kasriel, CEO Upwork
