Perceptions Of Remote Work Among Different Sectors

According to Lynne McCormack, General Manager at FRS Recruitment, “For the first time, we have candidates telling us that salary is less important to them than the ability to do their job remotely. For many people, the pandemic showed they can do their work from anywhere, which is enabling them to move to areas outside of cities where the cost of living and housing pressures aren’t so acute and without the burden of long commutes and high transport costs”.
