Published by J Brech on June 10, 2020 Remote work has been gaining popularity over the past few years. Since the decade began, the industry has grown by 400%. And with the pandemic forcing offices to close, it has directly catapulted remote work into the spotlight. True enough, job platform FlexJobs confirms a significant increase in remote positions—from IT professionals and programmers, to business trainers and customer service providers. Gartner predicted that by 2021, the increase in remote workers will allow organizations to support 40% more employees in the same amount of office space they currently use.
