Smart working: in 2021 there will be over three million smart workers in Italy
According to the estimates of Crif Nomisma, in 2021 16% of people will work from home: one in six workers. While in lockdown, Italian remote workers went from about half a million to over 7 million, 34 percent of the total of people employed. In the post-emergency phase, the number stabilized at 24%, one in 4 workers. The data of the last few weeks, with the new peak of infections, lead us to believe that the adoption figure will return to grow faster than expected.
According to Crif Nomisma, in the private sector, the areas with the greatest number of employees in smart working are IT and Telecommunications, with a share equal to 56% of the total of people employed. Large companies with more than 250 employees are more likely to work remotely, as well as multinationals, where the quota of smart workers hits 53%.
If smart working brings unquestionable advantages to the balance between work and private life and the reduction of the times and costs of the commute to work, the downside is the increase in hours worked, the struggle to separate work and private life and the reduced exchange with co-workers.
