Setting targets for remote jobs per county would help drive balanced regional development and regenerate local communities across the country, a Fine Gael senator has said.
Senator Emer Currie, Fine Gael Seanad Spokesperson on Employment Affairs and Work/Life Balance, was speaking as a report from NUI Galway’s Whitaker Institute and the Western Development Commission (WDC), highlighted the potential benefits of remote working, including improved productivity, greater labour market participation, reduced emissions and more balanced regional and rural development.
Senator Currie said: “With the recent increase in location-less or less location-dependent work, the Government’s forthcoming remote working strategy could benefit from measuring and setting targets for remote jobs in each local authority area. What gets measured gets done. We must set county targets for remote work or we will miss the opportunity given to us by COVID-19.
