Remember the time when remote working was thought to be a weak business model? There was hardly any trust, remote workers weren’t seen as actual workers, and managers were nervous about allowing their reports to work away from the office.
Those days are long gone. Now, a whopping 66% of companies allow remote work. More and more, we’re talking about the hows of engaging remote employees — because engaged workers are more likely to stay with you.
So, yes, remote working has been gaining more attention than the “Stranger Things” kids. In fact, it’s such a popular way of doing business that 16% of companies have gone 100% remote.
One of those is Zapier. In just 3 years, they’ve managed to grow from 0 to 600,000+ users, make millions, and become experts in engaging their remote employees.
