Remote work is quite popular across the globe, however, it became especially relevant during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown, when the vast majority of companies were forced to switch employees to remote work mode. Therefore, we find it interesting to examine the consequences of remote working and employee attitudes towards it.
People employed at licensed insurance companies in Georgia were selected to participate in the study. The aim of the study was to identify the preferred work arrangement (working from home, working from the office, part-time remote working) while working remotely under the influence of demographic factors (gender, age, education, marital status). Also, the aim of the study was to study how people working remotely perceive their career advancement opportunities and what are the impacts of work experience and job position in the company on issues related to remote work. Findings of the study and the recommendations can be critically useful for many different companies in order to successfully implement the remote working model and achieve the maximum efficiency.
