Majority of U.S. employees say remote work options impact job offer decisions: report

Some officials have urged workers to return to offices, claiming that they can't perform their jobs while working from home.

The data from Employ Inc. found that 65% of workers said that remote work or work-from-home options impacted their decision to accept or reject a job offer. As many as 40% of respondents said they would take lower pay if it meant working remotely. "In this employee-driven market, recruiters and employers must quickly adapt to the current reality of talent acquisition to remain competitive in today’s labor market," said Pete Lamson, CEO of Employ.

And those employees will likely look for positions that allow them to work remotely, with almost a third of respondents saying that their "ideal work situation" would include a 100% remote set-up. The data, therefore, highlights an increasingly tense stand-off between employers and government officials who want to see workers back in offices versus the employees who seem to want to remain at home while working.
