In our Global Workforce Revolution Report , we surveyed decision-makers and employees at SMBs with fewer than 250 employees in the U.S. and U.K. to learn more about the future of work. As part of that report, we investigated the kinds of benefits and treatment remote workers need, want, and expect.
Results included many of the usual suspects, such as healthcare options, retirement savings, and budgets for continuing education. The benefits of remote work don’t always show up as line items, though. Instead, they shine through a company’s policies and culture.
You can offer unlimited PTO but ruin the benefit by micromanaging those who try to use it. You can claim to be remote-friendly but lock out remote workers from promotions and important discussions.
To deliver the true benefits remote workers expect from remote teams, you must embrace remote-first culture. Our research and experience tell us remote workers expect values-based benefits that empower them to live fuller, richer lives.
Freedom of movement
Our Global Workforce Revolution Report found that 71% of remote workers in the U.S. and U.K. would move to a different country if they could do so without sacrificing financial security or career prospects. When we included the option to move to a different state or region in their current country, 81% of respondents said they wanted to move.
