The future of remote working

When the pandemic struck in 2020, thousands of businesses went remote, ushering in a new era of flexible work. Today, 74% of professionals expect remote work to be the new norm.

Even as the world returns to post-lockdown rhythms, 97% of employees want to continue working remotely or adopt a hybrid schedule — a clear indication that expectations have shifted permanently.

Why remote working jobs are the future

Before COVID-19, remote work was a niche arrangement. Only 14% of people worked remotely, often stifled by ingrained workplace norms.

But the pandemic changed everything — rapidly pushing businesses to digitise communications and issue remote tools. As a result, 56% of professionals now work remotely.

Remote work has proven a win-win for the planet, people, and businesses alike.

🌍 The planet

Global CO2 emissions fell during lockdowns as commuting stopped and offices closed. Less energy consumption meant a meaningful reduction in environmental impact — a long-overdue step in the right direction.

👥 The people

Remote work gives people back their most valuable resource: time. Whether used for fitness, family, or travel, flexible schedules empower employees to live more balanced lives.

Employees can work from anywhere — staying connected with loved ones abroad.
40% of workers say they’d quit their jobs rather than return to the office.

It’s clear that freedom and flexibility have become core employee expectations.

💼 The business

Remote working enhances productivity, boosts employee morale, and improves retention. It also expands access to global talent pools — allowing businesses to hire based on skills, not location.

This also benefits business customers. Competing globally requires scalable, tech-savvy teams — something remote-first operations are built for.

How CopyHouse has championed remote working

Like many, CopyHouse went remote in 2020 — but we decided to go further. We introduced a work-from-anywhere policy, allowing our team to work from anywhere in the world, anytime — as long as deadlines and calls are met.

With team members based in the USA, Sweden, Italy, Poland, Portugal and beyond, remote work helped our people:

Stay close to family
Work when they feel most creative
Preserve mental health

We supported this by launching:

Employee Assistance Programme (EAP): Monthly sessions with a mental wellbeing coach.
Trickle: A platform for anonymous feedback, success sharing and open communication.
Virtual socials & meetups: Regular online and in-person events to keep our team connected.

Taking over Europe

With rapid growth came global ambitions. That’s why we launched CopyHouse Europe to:

Improve service to EU clients
Expand our European client base
Recruit exceptional talent across the continent

But Brexit made hiring abroad tricky — until we partnered with Remote.

What is Remote?

Remote is a global employment platform launched in 2019 that helps companies hire talent internationally without legal headaches.

They manage:

Local employment compliance
Payroll and taxes
Onboarding and HR tasks

By partnering with Remote, we’ve been able to expand our team across borders, bring in world-class talent, and maintain seamless operations.
