The Andela survey shows that more than 1 in 4 tech workers (27%) remain remote and 83% of enterprises say that number will increase or remain the same over the next six months. The survey, conducted in partnership with Foundry, included 211 enterprises with an average employee size of 5,500 across the U.S., UK, and Germany.

For companies not looking to increase remote tech talent, 47% cited concerns over employee productivity and engagement, a common refrain among companies mandating a return to the office. The survey also found that 88% of enterprise companies want to find tech talent in other countries even though language and cultural barriers remain a top challenge (38%).

“Enterprises will continue to tap into global talent as they work to bridge in-house skills gaps,” says Jeremy Johnson, Andela CEO and Co-Founder
