Welcome to this week’s episode of The Future of Work on Clare FM.
Today, we look at how remote working is reshaping life in Clare.
In recent decades we’ve seen a significant shift in the way we do our jobs.
Remote working has evolved dramatically in recent years and 2025 was a record year for remote and hybrid working, in absolute and relative terms.
Recent figures from Grow Remote show combined numbers of 998,000 people in Ireland worked from home last year, representing a 35.4% share of the Irish workforce.
It’s estimated that around a quarter of employees in Clare avail of the remote or hybrid model of work.
Before the Covid-19 pandemic, the option to work remotely was available to only a few however, it soon became a critical response to the global emergency.
Three years on and remote and hybrid working are here to stay.
