If we look at the U.S., a country where data already points to a technical recession, there are many companies that intend to tighten their measures regarding teleworking, and in order not to be so permissive, according to the Wall Street Journal, CEOs of many organizations believe that an economic recession would give them more freedom to get workers back to the offices.
In any case, this assessment of the recession does not take into account that many companies have facilitated teleworking, or the hybrid formula, in order to retain talent, and also to save money, factors that can be very important to make a difference in times of crisis.
And if the situation worsens a lot, the option of teleworking is something that can save employers a lot of money, and in this case it would mean promoting this option of teleworking.
It should be noted that the costs of office rent, electricity, heating, air conditioning, furniture, etc. disappear with teleworking, so it could be a very good way to cut costs.
Teleworking can also be a very good argument for paying this “emotional salary”, and not having to raise the salary at the end of the month to be able to retain this talent so necessary for companies. On the other hand, with this formula they can hire a larger team of people from anywhere in the world.
