Become an Inspirational Manager: Bring Out the Best In Others

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced new ways of working for companies all over the world. According to the [McKinsey research](https://www.mckinsey.com/~/media/McKinsey/Business%20Functions/Organization/Our%20Insights/Reimagining%20the%20office%20and%20work%20life%20after%20COVID%2019/Reimagining-the-office-and-work-life-after-COVID-19-final.pdf), as of April 2020, 62 percent of employed Americans worked at home during the crisis, compared with about 25 percent a couple of years ago.

A new study on [pandemic-induced remote workers and their employers](https://www.nber.org/papers/w27422) by Harvard Business School Assistant Professor, Zoe Cullen, and Associate Professors, Michael Luca and Christopher Stanton, suggest that **16 percent** will remain at-home workers long after the COVID-19 crisis has receded. The survey was conducted with **1,800** people in both small and large businesses.

While overall levels of remote work are high, there is considerable variation across industries.   
    
The following discusses the effects of work-from-home:
-  Remote work is much more common in industries with better educated and better-paid workers.
- Respondents in better educated and higher paid industries have also observed less productivity loss from the transition to remote work.
- More than one-third of firms that had employees switch to remote work believe that it will remain more common at their company even after the COVID-19 crisis ends.

>“These estimates suggest that at least 16 percent of American workers will switch from professional offices to working at home at least two days per week as a result of COVID- 19,” the researchers conclude. 
 This would represent a dramatic and persistent shift in workplace norms around remote work and has implications for companies, employees, and policymakers alike.”
