Under normal circumstances, transitioning to remote work isn’t a major adjustment. In fact, before the Covid-19 pandemic, workers had increasingly been working virtually.
According to a January 2020 report, the number of employees working off-site increased to 43% in 2016 from 39% in 2012. And the number of workers who reported working from home specifically because of Covid-19 concerns rose to 62% in mid-April from 31% in mid-March.
But the unexpected shift to remote work because of the pandemic has been challenging, said Joe Santucci, chief operating officer at the accounting, consulting and technology firm Crowe. Although Crowe supported work- from-home arrangements well before the pandemic, learning to maintain a work-life balance under the current circumstances was difficult in the beginning for some.
