Motus released a report which examines the trends that will influence remote work in 2021 and beyond.

"Over the past year, organizations have quickly and successfully adapted to remote work and proved that the workforce is fully capable of operating successfully in a remote environment. Today, nearly 56% of employees have remote-compatible jobs, setting the stage for an enduring remote workforce."

The report also revealed that businesses are thriving in remote environments, with 83% of company leaders reporting the shift to remote work has been successful for their organization.

The result is nine extra days of concentrated work per year for each employee who worked remote half-time.

The absence of fixed real estate and business travel costs, for example, enable employers who embrace at least half-time remote work to save $11,000 per employee per year.

"Employing a hybrid policy ensures that teams can benefit from both the improved focus in a remote setting and in-person collaboration. From a bottom-line perspective, decentralizing the office will also provide employers with the opportunity to repurpose top line spend on employee benefits, resources for those who need help adjusting to a hybrid work schedule and reimbursement for business-related expenses such as phones, home office spaces and internet."
