Why Self-Management in Remote Environments

Flexible Working is Becoming the New Normal

It is Increasing everywhere: Between 2005 to 2017, there was a 159% increase in remote work (US).
It attracts and Retains Talent: It is one of the most effective and non-monetary ways to retain employees.
It is Good for Business: Productivity can increase in a company because of greater flexibility.
Remote Workers Are More Productive: Fewer distractions and interruptions, less stress from no commute.
It is Here to Stay: Finally, in a study conducted by Condeco Software on 2020, 41% of global businesses surveyed say they already offer some degree of remote working, while 60% provide flextime opportunities that allow employees to choose when to start and end their workday.

Upwork’s “Future Workforce Report ” predicts that 73% of all teams will have remote workers by 2028.
