Most HR, engineering leaders in firm's survey have no long-term remote work plan

Dive Brief:

  • The majority (95%) of HR and engineer leaders in an Aug. 20 survey by Terminal, a remote engineer team-building solution provider, said they navigated remote work successfully during the COVID-19 pandemic. But more than two-thirds of respondents said they do not have a long-term plan for remote work in place.
  • Culture was a particular concern for respondents: only 27% said they "had a strong and thriving remote culture today," according to Terminal, and 59% said that "a Zoom happy hour doesn’t count as company culture." The survey showed that one-on-one meetings with employees, feedback such as NPS surveys and "a general gut check" with members of senior team members were the most common ways of measuring culture among respondents.
  • Terminal found that productivity, work-life integration and wellness were the most commonly addressed items in existing remote-work strategies, though it also found that 61% of these strategies are less than one year old. The company's sample of 400 respondents was sourced partly from its base of contacts and partly from online market research firm Dynata.

Dive Insight:

Terminal's findings point to some concerns employers may have about the long-term viability of remote work even though they are not necessarily representative of all employers. Gartner, for example, found in a recent survey that more than 80% of company leaders planned to permit employees to work remotely at least part of the time upon reopening from the pandemic. And more than half of HR professionals in a survey by workplace social networking service Fishbowl said they would choose to work from home permanently if their company permitted doing so.
