That is especially true since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/recode\/23205039\/future-remote-work-experts-promotion-recession\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">anti-immigration policies stemming from the Trump administration are blocking some foreign workers<\/a> from entering the U.S.\u2014so while those workers can\u2019t get to the companies, firms are bringing the work to them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiring foreign workers also has unique perks for organizations. First, in an increasingly global market, foreign hires make a business <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2022\/09\/inclusivity-remote-work-borderless-workforce\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more diverse and culturally aware<\/a>. Second, as the U.S. heads toward a seemingly inevitable recession, companies can save a lot of money by <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2022\/09\/29\/companies-outsourcing-remote-knowledge-workers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">outsourcing to countries with cheaper workers<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But businesses don\u2019t have to look overseas to gain from outsourcing: Many in the U.S. have already cut costs and remained agile in uncertain pandemic-affected markets by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/business\/2022\/08\/26\/remote-work-outsourcing-globalization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">replacing staff with (mostly American and Canadian) contractors<\/a>\u2014and they don\u2019t have to deal with time zone differences and language barriers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-don-t-panic-yet\">Don\u2019t Panic (Yet)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most economists agree that the future of remote work isn\u2019t a matter of <em>whether<\/em> companies will shift to relying more heavily on outsourcing\u2014but <em>when?<\/em> If the transition is sudden, over the next several years, it could be severely destabilizing for American workers. But economists are optimistic that the shift will be gradual, happening over generations, and that workers will have a chance to adapt and weather the change.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, many executives still see the value in preserving their staff. First, companies benefit from having long-term employees who continually develop their skills and contribute to company culture\u2014even if their salaries are more expensive than payments to contractors. Second, local employees\u2019 familiarity with American culture makes them well-suited to help companies target U.S. consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-so-what-is-the-future-of-remote-work\">So, What Is the Future of Remote Work?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Working from home is here to stay, but the future of remote work isn\u2019t all Zoom meetings and overseas contractors\u2014rather, experts estimate that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/business\/2022\/08\/26\/remote-work-outsourcing-globalization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">roughly 20%<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/recode\/23205039\/future-remote-work-experts-promotion-recession\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">30% of workers will be fully remote<\/a> and the rest will likely have hybrid schedules. New companies will form with remote and hybrid work optimization in their DNA.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For workers, there will be pros and cons. On the upside, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/portugal-launches-digital-nomad-visa-2700-month-income-requirement-2022-10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">remote work gives employees the freedom to live where they want<\/a>\u2014and where they can comfortably afford, as prices soar for everything from homes to groceries. If the economic recession brings layoffs, remote workers may be more flexible about reducing their hours to meet the company\u2019s needs, which could keep them off the chopping block.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, one poll found that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/more-than-half-of-ceos-consider-workforce-reductions-over-the-next-6-months-and-remote-workers-may-be-the-first-go-to-11664907913?mod=hp_minor_pos26&amp;adobe_mc=MCMID%3D63765762875210028744001108478344725638%7CMCORGID%3DCB68E4BA55144CAA0A4C98A5%2540AdobeOrg%7CTS%3D1665328999\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">60% of managers say remote workers will likely be the first to be laid off<\/a> in the looming recession. And when their jobs aren\u2019t at risk, employees working from home may still have to speak up more to ensure their managers don\u2019t forget about them when it comes to pay raises and promotions. Early-career employees might also find that it takes longer to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-climb-the-corporate-ladder\/\">climb the corporate ladder<\/a>, as remote work offers fewer opportunities to meet and learn from mentors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But just as we\u2019ve seen seismic changes in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/building-a-positive-workplace-culture\/\">workplace culture<\/a> and norms to support remote work in just the last two years, more are sure to come.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Adjusting to New Expectations&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As the world resumes pre-pandemic activities and the economy picks up, businesses looking to bring workers back to the office are facing not only labor shortages but also a changed labor pool, in which employees have different expectations and priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Relying on remote work during the pandemic ended the debate about whether workers can be productive without close supervision. Working from home, productivity went up and workers gained confidence in their ability to manage their own time. They may flinch if managers expect them to take a step back into a less autonomous role.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-avoid-conflict-in-relationships\/\">avoid conflict<\/a> in the future as the world relies more heavily on remote work, supervisors should allow for flexibility and should adjust the way they gauge worker output. For example, instead of mandating employees\u2019 butts in chairs between the hours of 9 and 5, they might <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/track-your-progress\/\">track progress<\/a> toward specific objectives, and allow workers to clock their hours when they can.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Developing New Skills<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The pandemic exacerbated the need for companies to have a flexible, skilled workforce that can adjust quickly to new challenges. At the same time, workers are eager to accumulate new skills\u201497% report wanting to develop their skills but struggling to find the time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To solve both these challenges, companies should provide learning opportunities on company time and should allow employees to participate in cross-functional projects and meetings. In this way, employees can develop new skills and explore different career paths, while companies can cultivate a team that can quickly pivot to new responsibilities (which may come in handy during the next crisis).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Face Time Productively<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Use in-office time efficiently to schedule meetings that are best conducted face-to-face rather than virtually. This can make meetings more effective and lessen the need for meetings when employees are working remotely, which has been one of the lesser-liked aspects of the work-from-home experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What will the future of remote work look like in the United States?
