The Buffer x Angelist 2020 State of Remote Work Report

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.

“The question is no longer “is remote work here to stay?” It seems like remote work might even be the new normal.”

The report takes a dive into these six insights:

1. Working in a hybrid remote/co-located team is hard
2. If more than 70% of a persons time is spent working remotely the happier they are
3. Remote workers are very happy they don’t have to commute!
4. Communication, collaboration, and loneliness continue to be top challenges.
5. The majority of organizations with remote workers don’t pay for monthly expenses associated with remote work.
6. Home is consistently the number one primary work location for remote workers. Not the beach.

Excellent read!
