Businesses that have let their employees work remotely in recent years have experienced four times more revenue growth than companies that have been less flexible about office attendance, according to a study by Scoop Technologies Inc. and Boston Consulting Group. The study, which included 554 public companies employing nearly 27 million people, found that companies whose workforces are either completely remote or are able to choose when to go into the office increased sales 21% between 2020 and 2022, while companies with fully onsite or hybrid workforces increased sales 5% over that same period.
