Nearly 50% of employees wish to work remotely according to an SHRM survey

48% – this is the number of workers who would rather look for a remote position for their next job in 2022. According to a survey conducted by the SHRM Research Institute on 1,700 employees, 63% of participants agree that the idea of mandating on-site work is futile when the job can be achieved remotely. 

SHRM’s 2022 State of the Workplace survey also indicates that: 

  • Lack of labor force is not as big an issue for remote organizations. 
  • Employees who can work remotely report higher levels of satisfaction towards their companies – boosting employee experience. 
  • Remote companies allow for greater work flexibility.
