The amount of remote job offerings has significantly decreased in the past 6 months, and the jobs that are more remote-friendly are also posting with a lower frequency. We will likely see a trend of employers bringing staff back to the office, at least on a part-time basis. #hiring #remote #inperson

😅 It's 2024 y'all. Having a global workforce getting things done around the clock is a benefit, not a challenge. It seems like companies want to attract people with "remote" job options but then not really offer a remote work option, ultimately wasting everyone's time in the process. #JobSearch #JobHunt #RemoteWork #Remote

Now, I think I'd prefer a remote job. I used to love onsite jobs; I mean, you leave your house, dress up, and go to work... But in this economy, let me just stick with the remote job because the cost of transportation has already taken all pay. Which one do you prefer, working remotely or onsite? ©️ SHE0PE #remotejob #workfromhome #digitalnomad #jobpreference #economy #costofliving #200dayswritingchallenge Ps: this look, if you know, you know.

I read this article this morning: "Digital Jobs and Remote Work: The demand for digital jobs continues to rise, driven by the ongoing digital transformation across sectors. These roles often offer higher pay and more flexibility. Despite a decline in fully remote job postings, hybrid work arrangements remain popular, with many employees preferring a balance between office and home environments (WEF Forum) (Danaher Careers Blog)." It got me to thinking, I'm one of millions that are transitioning from fully in house work to remote/hybrid work due to life circumstances. In my case, remote work opens up job opportunities that I might not otherwise have access too because they would be fully on site. When companies offer positions remotely they dramatically increase the labor pool and talent. It's not always a lose/lose situation when going remote for companies. There are many skilled, experienced and talented candidates just outside of traditional travel zones. #RemoteWork #HybridWork #DigitalWorkspace #WorkFromAnywhere #ConnectedTeam #Opentowork

For the higher paying positions, companies prefer to have their people in the office for collaboration and leadership. Within the last year a lot of the Houston based candidates I've spoken with are realizing the remote positions are on the decline. Candidates are becoming more flexible about going into an office, at least part of the time. Snapshot of our current active positions: 6%-Remote 58%-Hybrid 36%-Fully in office Will be interesting to see happens with office schedules in 2024 because there is a lot of talk about companies making employees return to the office. #talancegroup #accountingandfinance #houstonjobs

10% of roles listed on LinkedIn are remote 💻 Work-from-home jobs are in limited supply. Organizations continue to pull workers back into the office even when it's against their preference. Job seekers apply in much higher numbers for remote jobs than on-site jobs. Will we see employers persist or ultimately revisit their position on remote work? A reason why remote jobs are so popular is the life changes made by workers during the pandemic. Millennials moved further away from their offices to purchase homes and raise families. Many now live in locations far removed from business hotspots. That's complicating a return to the office if not making it impossible. 📊 More about the data: Business Insider - Office employees now live nearly 3 times as far from their workplace as they did before the pandemic #futureofwork #datadriveninsights #talentstrategies #talentacquisition #remotework

Remote = Can work from anywhere (With an emphasis on ANYWHERE) WFH = Work from home, but in the same city as the company Hybrid = 70% WFH, 30% in office. This can also mean less time in the office but never more. That is - "Casual Fridays" - 90% in office, 10% WFH. Usually, this means four days in the office and one day at home (Fridays). This is easy to understand. Stop claiming a job is Remote when it's WFH. Stop saying a job is WFH when it's Hybrid or "Casual Fridays." Searching for and applying for jobs is stressful and degrading enough as it is. Please label the role correctly and stop manipulating job seekers who just want to find stability again. #jobsearch #empathy #remotejobs

"Is remote work becoming a luxury? 🧐 I'm seeing more and more remote job postings with stringent requirements like 40-50 Mbps internet, high-end laptops, and quiet environments. While I understand the need for a conducive workspace, these demands often clash with the salaries offered, making it difficult for many to meet the criteria. Companies might consider investing in employee setups, especially when they demand so much from remote workers. This could include providing internet reimbursement or even equipment allowances. Such initiatives can improve employee satisfaction, productivity, and overall well-being. Let's discuss! #remotework #jobmarket #workfromhome #tech #salary #employeebenefits" I got this screenshot from a job advert 🤔

Nowadays, 'Remote Work' is a dream job for many people! However, there is a catch in remote job postings. Many companies advertise remote work opportunities but fail to provide that option effectively. This is a request to all companies who offering remote jobs: Please stop misusing the term 'remote work' if you cannot offer it properly. Remote work encompasses much more than just 'not working from the office.' It means 'Work from Anywhere' (WFA), not just from home or within a city. All a person needs is a laptop and Wi-Fi, and the entire world can become their office. However, if you cannot offer 100% location flexibility, then 'home office' or 'hybrid' are the terms to use. This indicates that candidates are expected to work from home but must be close to your office. I understand that there are various reasons why companies define geographical boundaries, even when they aim to offer full flexibility. #remotejob #workfromhome #hybrid #trending #mfis
