The majority of US workers now have the option to work from home. Almost overnight, it all happened. The same applies to lawyers: Many law firms need policies governing the work-from-home of their staff.
For most lawyers, this will be a new experience. Solo practitioners and Big Law firms alike embrace remote working from home. By offering remote work options on an as needed basis, Jackson Lewis, which employs more than 800 lawyers nationwide, has formalized a long-standing practice.
Working from home appeals to many people. 34% of American workers are willing to take a 6% pay cut in order to work remotely. As a result, this is a good opportunity to ensure that your work-from-home policy is understood by your team.
Flexible working policies, or work from home policies, set out expectations clearly. As a result, your firm is more likely to succeed. The benefits of remote working will be available to you as well. You can hire from a wider pool of qualified candidates, have lower overhead, and have loyal team members who are less stressed. Study results found 91% better work-life balance among workers who can work from home (part or full time).
