Remote Workers Show High Engagement Yet Rising Stress
Research from Gallup indicates that remote employees are among the most engaged at work—yet they also report some of the highest stress levels. While they appreciate autonomy and flexible scheduling, many find themselves battling isolation and blurred work-life boundaries. Despite those challenges, remote roles continue to be sought after, especially by Gen Z and millennials aiming for freedom over commutes and standard 9-to-5 routines. Employers see upsides like lower overhead and access to global talent, but worry about burnout and mental health consequences if remote support structures lag.
