About 40% of South Africa’s senior professionals people working in managerial positions across sectors such as operations, financial services and legal want to move to full-time remote work. This is according to data from a salary survey of 2 000 white-collar professionals conducted by Robert Walters, a global recruitment consultancy.
Samantha-Jane Gravett, an associate director at Robert Walters Africa, said that 2020 was the year of the world’s largest remote working experiment. “Employers would be amiss to think that there wouldn’t be some long-term changes to employee expectations as a result.”
