The good news for companies is, by and large, work productivity has been impervious to the strain of the coronavirus pandemic, according to a recent survey from Skillsoft and Compliance Week.
Eighty-six percent of 180 respondents across compliance, risk, and audit are currently working remotely at least most of the time (hereafter referred to as “telecommuters”). More than three-quarters of telecommuters (78 percent) say they are equally or more productive working from home, with only 19 percent saying their work output has waned. Poor collegiality hasn’t seemed to be a rampant problem either. The vast majority of telecommuters (79 percent) say they have not seen a rise in inappropriate conduct or communications on messaging platforms or video meeting applications since the workforce went remote last spring.
