COVID Related Temporary Remote Work Now Becoming Permanent

More employers are now making work from home a long term option

It was recently announced that the U.S. federal government is working to implement long term work at home arrangements for employees who have been working remotely since the early days of the pandemic. And they are not alone. Thousands of industries, from education to retail, are looking for ways to let employees continue to telecommute. That’s good news. Because a recent Gallop survey revealed that many employees are still working from home – and would prefer to stay that way.

The trend isn’t just for those who are already working. New hires are also being offered remote work opportunities in industries that traditionally haven’t allowed work from home. Here’s just a few of the latest to announce permanent work-at-home arrangements:
