– Microsoft, Facebook and Twitter are all giving staff members the option of working remotely on a permanent basis.
– Only a quarter (of executives) say they will allow employees to work remotely for a significant amount of time.
– By contrast to what workers say (re their productivity), about half of executives do not believe their workers have been more productive since going remote.
