Remote Work Index by MSA-2019

Working from home was already becoming more common, but the COVID-19 crisis forced many employers to quickly and drastically alter policies to enable more workers to perform their jobs from home. This “forced experimentation” with remote work may open some employers eyes to the benefits of an increasingly remote workforce. Shopify, for example, announced in May that its 5,000 employees would be allowed to work from home indefinitely. More employers following this example could induce a stark and fundamental shift in the nature of work.
