Live-Work-Play-Shop-Learn in 2020
More companies are having employees work more with remote access and technology so their “bricks and mortar” needs are reduced. Why wouldn’t you have employees work from home and have a “swing” office for periodic office visits? Reducing office space saves costs on many fronts.
However, would you take a job working remotely?
Office space demands and needs will be very much different by 2020.
Work at home new findings from the Current Population Survey
In May 1985, more than 8 million Americans reported at least 8 hours per week
of home-based work services, ranging from consulting to child care, were the
most common pursuits of persons working substantial numbers of hours at home (Source:
BLS)
Approx. 6% of the working population
telecommuted in 1985
As of 2011, about 34 million people
work from their residence occasionally, reports Forrester Research, a
technology and market research company. Source: St. Louis Fed
When
half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work, because the
other is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that
it does no good to work because somebody is going to get what they work for,
that is the beginning of the end of any nation!
