Remote work isn’t going away, and we may have striking civil servants to thank
is more proof that remote work is a hot topic in workplaces across the country. And given its size and profile, the strike will be a defining moment in the evolution of work-from-home practices. The tentative deal, by codifying specific practices in a labour contract, confirms that work-from-home arrangements will be an essential ingredient in workplace relations well into the future.
By late 2022, 40 per cent of employees were still working mostly from home. Another 25 per cent had worked remotely at some time during the pandemic. Remote work was dominant in dozens of occupations, in both the private and public sectors, including professional, scientific, business, management, educational and government service roles. An exception was health care, with even professional and managerial staff operating from traditional workplaces for the most part.
Indeed, across a wide range of job-quality indicators, home-based workers report significantly better well-being. We surveyed 14 different indicators of employee well-being, and remote workers scored higher on every one of them, including being treated respectfully, independence, job security and ability to balance work and family. Seventy per cent of home-based workers expressed overall satisfaction with their jobs, compared with 57 per cent of non-home-based workers.
