Owners & Managers Overwhelmingly Pleased with Quality of Remote Work, Survey Says

Half of Companies Working Remotely Have Shifted to Out of Area Hiring


Long Beach, California, Nov. 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Respondents to FreeConferenceCall's State of Remote Work Survey say remote work has improved their quality of work and enabled their company to hire outside of their geographic area. Of the 1251 respondents, 77% are now working from home at least part of the time, with 49% of respondents fully remote. 


The company surveyed their user base to hear how prolonged remote and hybrid work conditions are impacting work quality, for individuals and colleagues, as well as hiring decisions. Self-evaluation of remote work is overwhelmingly positive. Evaluation of coworkers’ quality of work was also positive, though respondents ranked their own work quality higher than their coworkers (graphs attached).
