Tech workers in the gig economy love the flexibility of the less permanent roles, according to a recent Legal & General U.S. Gig Economy study, which noted that offering flexible working could draw tech gig workers back to the traditional workplace.
For 70% of the study’s respondents, freelancing is a choice; while the remainder were presented with this way of work and embraced it, the study noted. According to the study, remote work and flexible locations are more important for tech freelancers than for other gig workers, with many wanting to perform gig work because of their location. Schedule flexibility is also a priority, the study stated.
The study found that the COVID-19 pandemic also impacted tech gig work, causing more technology roles to become freelance work, with many workers appreciating the “pandemic resistance work arrangements.”
