Remote Employees Remain Highly Productive, a New Survey Says
"The data from Institute for Corporate Productivity and cybersecurity company Akamai Technologies shows that an astonishing 83 percent of companies with remote-friendly work policies report high staff productivity. Breaking that figure down, fully 21 percent of the companies in the survey said that productivity remains "very high," and 62 percent said "high." Interestingly, many of these companies demonstrate their faith in their employees' honesty and dedication while working remotely by not surveilling their online activities."
"In fact 62 percent of remote-friendly companies don't deploy tools like VPN usage logs or key-press tracking software, industry news site HRDive noted. The report suggests that this statistic means there's a "strong culture of mutual trust" between workers and staff about the productivity and honesty of working remotely. The study also found that remote work is now the new norm: 52 percent of companies surveyed said remote-first models were their default, and only 7 percent said they had plans to revert to more traditional in-office working models."
Eighty-three percent of companies with remote-friendly work policies report high or very high staff productivity, with 21 percent reporting "very high" and 62 percent reporting "high." Sixty-two percent of remote-friendly companies do not deploy employee activity surveillance tools such as VPN usage logs or key-press tracking software, reflecting a culture of mutual trust. Fifty-two percent of companies describe remote-first models as their default, and only seven percent plan to return to more traditional in-office models. Many remote-friendly companies hold annual or semiannual in-person meetings for strategy sessions and team coordination.
