North America Temporary Worker Survey 2024: Prevalence of remote work among temporary workers, how much they value it, and advice on how to make it better

  • About half of temporary workers reported working an assignment remotely at least some of the time in 2023. However, levels of remote work vary sharply by occupation.
  • Methods of monitoring remote temporary worker productivity vary widely by worker occupation, age, and hourly wage.
  • The option to work remotely is highly valued by temporary workers. Sixty-one percent of temporary workers rated remote work a 5 or 6 on a 1-6 scale of importance to them (6 = very important), and more than half of temporary workers would even go so far as to consider a pay cut if they could be allowed to work entirely remotely. 
  • How to make temp remote work experience better. Respondents were asked what staffing firms could do to make their remote work experience better, and separately what clients could do to make it better. The pattern in responses for the two questions was similar, highlighting three notable themes: communication, onboarding, and equipment.
