The industry is becoming more geographically diverse, with a 149% rise in the number of remote working technology jobs posted since March 2020, according to the\u00a0Demand for skilled talent<\/em>\u00a0report published by recruitment firm Robert Half and global labour market trends experts Burning Glass, which polled 1,500 executives in the UK, Germany, Belgium, France and Brazil.<\/p>\n Two-fifths of workers polled (39%) said they plan to relocate to another country or city and continue working remotely, while almost half (49%) plan to switch to a four-day week in response to increased workloads seen in 2020. Most of those surveyed (68%) expressed a desire to continue working from home for between one and three days a week after the pandemic.<\/p>\n According to Matt Weston, managing director at Robert Half UK, businesses are shifting away from ideas around \u201cpresenteeism\u201d and moving towards metrics related to productivity and output.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat an employee produces is more important than where they do it, which is why businesses are increasingly comfortable with remote or hybrid working,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n In addition, the report said companies now want \u201chybrid skills\u201d, with a 52% increase in demand for system administrators who can satisfy customers and a 51% increase for software developers who can establish customer rapport, and a 42% increase in web and multimedia developers who can provide customer follow-up.<\/p>\n According to Weston, the findings highlight that employers want \u201cagile, adaptable candidates who can effectively marry strong technical capabilities with essential softer skills like interpersonal communication\u201d.<\/p>\n Article Source: https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/news\/252499081\/Tech-industry-sees-surge-in-remote-working-job-postings[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Technology professionals have seen a sharp increase in the availability of \u201cwork anywhere\u201d vacancies, as well as demands for an ability to \u201chandle everything\u201d since the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic, according to a new report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17914,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[203,204],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/twg-build.co.uk\/yourcode\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17701"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/twg-build.co.uk\/yourcode\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/twg-build.co.uk\/yourcode\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/twg-build.co.uk\/yourcode\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/twg-build.co.uk\/yourcode\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17701"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/twg-build.co.uk\/yourcode\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17701\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18139,"href":"http:\/\/twg-build.co.uk\/yourcode\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17701\/revisions\/18139"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/twg-build.co.uk\/yourcode\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17914"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/twg-build.co.uk\/yourcode\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/twg-build.co.uk\/yourcode\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/twg-build.co.uk\/yourcode\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
