Among US middle market businesses: 33% of executives have employees working remotely since the Covid-19 pandemic, who were not doing so before 39% said remote or hybrid work had a positive impact on business culture 52% are sourcing talent for work that can be done remotely from a broader geographical area than before Covid-19 69% said remote and hybrid work had impeded employee training and development 73% said workers were feeling isolated “American workers experienced profound shocks during the pandemic, and that altered their preferences and behaviour,” said Joe Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM US. “As a result, firms are choosing to accommodate employees in order to retain their workers and recruit new ones. It’s clear that if middle market firms want to remain competitive, they will have to make concessions and adjustments that only five years ago would have been hard to imagine.” Photo: iStock/NicoElNino
