The wide acceptance of remote work arrangements brought on by the virus has motivated organizations to adopt temporary work from home policies. But now – many employers are making those remote jobs permanent. <\/p>\n
For instance, in March, about 90% of Verizon’s employees were ordered to work at home to comply with coronavirus regulations. This included all telephone-based support staff. During this time, the company had to examine how best to support their needs while also keeping employees safe. As a result, Verizon determined that many jobs could be moved a virtual arrangement permanently.<\/p>\n
