U.S. Workers Discovering Affinity for Remote Work
April 3, 2020 | Megan Brenan | Gallup
American workers are increasingly doing their jobs from home as a result of the coronavirus crisis, and the latest Gallup Panel data show that they are warming up to the experience.
Employers have had to become agile in response to the pandemic. Since mid-March, Gallup has been tracking how U.S. workers have been dealing with the disruptions to their lives and their jobs. The percentage of workers who say their employer is offering them flex time or remote work options has grown from 39% at that time to 57% in the latest polling, conducted March 30-April 2.
Sixty-two percent of employed Americans currently say they have worked from home during the crisis, a number that has doubled since mid-March.
