What we learned from 2020
In September, Enterprise Technology Research conducted a survey of top CIOs from a broad sampling of 1,200 companies in various industries worldwide. While about 72% of their global workforce currently works from home, they expect that 34.4% of their companies’ workforce will continue to work from home through 2021, or double the number of people who worked remotely before the pandemic. Forbes predicts that we’ll see a 300% increase from pre-pandemic numbers in the number of people who choose to work remotely.
Overall, IT decision-makers have been pleased with the efficiency and productivity of remote workers. Once hiring freezes are released and companies have the opportunity to invest in additional IT infrastructure, many indicate that hiring an increasingly remote workforce will continue to be a priority.
Work-from-home has broken down borders
Location is no longer a limiting factor for employers or employees. This has given rise to an increase in global talent sourcing and the desire to hire remote workers. Since the only constraint is now a stable high-speed internet connection, why not choose from the widest pool of capable talent?
Global talent sourcing opens up tremendous opportunities for remote worker, especially as companies work to hire the best people in a given field. Embracing this recruitment trend in 2021 will continue to put employers in the best position to acquire the best talent.
