WORK AT HOME
Working from home is increasingly the dream of many a harried employee.
But it’s hard to find legitimate work-from-home opportunities that aren’t too-good-to-be-true scams.
FlexJobs, a company that vets all types of flexible job listings including part-time, telecommuting and freelance, today releases the top 100 companies offering telecommuting opportunities in 2017.
The annual list is comprised of the companies that offered the highest number of remote job listings in the FlexJobs database in 2016, out of a total of 47,000 such companies. It includes jobs that allow for telecommuting both part and all of the time. To access these vetted opportunities, the site charges a fee.
Such opportunities seem to be increasing — the percentage of workers doing all or some of their work at home increased from 19% in 2003 to 24% in 2015, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Among those in management, business, financial operations and professional jobs, the percentage was 35-38%. And 68% of U.S. workers say that they expect to work remotely in the future.
Industries that are most likely to offer remote work include the computer and information technology fields, medical and health, and government and finance. Customer service, education and training and sales also feature a number of telecommuting jobs.
If you are looking for the freedom and flexibility that comes from remote working, then a home-working job might be the right fit for you. Both employers and employees benefit from home-based employment; with employers experiencing savings on overhead costs and employees being able to save on commuting and experiencing more flexible working conditions.
Many home-based or remote working jobs require a computer and internet use. Some common examples include online tutoring, internet research, blogging, freelance writing, transcription services, website design, fundraising management and consultancy.
The type of employers recruiting for homeworking employees range from big name brands right through to small businesses and start-ups. You can search for your ideal homeworking job here at Workingmums.co.uk across a range of sectors and disciplines. Find full time, part time, temporary or self-employed jobs that enable you to work from home.
Working From Home Continues to Grow
The traditional 9-5 job in an office is becoming increasingly obsolete, Fast Company reports. Not only are more people in the corporate world doing more from home, thanks to the internet, but side gigs are on the rise. More than a third of us — nearly 54 million people did some freelance work in the past year. That represents a growth of 700,000 more freelancers than the previous year. According to FlexJobs, there are more opportunities opening for full-time remote work, even for those at the executive level. Brie Reynolds, director of online content at FlexJobs, told the magazine: “Professionals who’ve spent years honing their skills and experience don’t need to sacrifice their hard work in order to find better work-life balance.” Analyzing listings from more than 40,000 companies in the FlexJobs database indicates that companies ranging from Dell and UnitedHealth Group to Xerox, SAP, and Salesforce were among the top 25 employers with the most available remote jobs. Although health care, technology, and education are the most well-represented industries, there are also openings in finance, hospitality, and research.
