As job markets continue to grow and evolve, so do the opportunities for freelancing work. In fact, a recent report by the American freelancing platform Upwork found that 64 million Americans performed freelance work in the past year, accounting for 38% of the entire US workforce. This type of employment also represents a significant portion of the national labor market and economy, as freelancers are reported to have contributed around $1.27 trillion in annual earnings in 2023.

The COVID-19 pandemic put many businesses to the test: Can we function as one company with remote workers in several locations? While some businesses have mixed reactions to the experience, others are choosing to maintain the arrangement or turn to a hybrid workforce – some on-site and some continuing remotely – to reap positive benefits, such as downsizing office space and thus, real estate costs. Long-term arrangements may not have worked two decades ago, but improved technologies in broadband and videoconferencing have eliminated many impediments to the remote work arrangement. If you are just starting a business, being proactive about the challenges of managing a remote work team increases your chances of a positive outcome.
