Best Work-From-Home Companies 2020
If you're looking for a work-from-home job in 2020, you're not alone — some executives have predicted that over 50% of us will work remotely by 2020!
So where should you start your search for the perfect work-from-home job? We've put together a list of the best work-from-home companies for 2020 to help you find a job that will give you the flexibility you crave, while avoiding the common pitfalls of some remote jobs (scams, limited support/resources/benefits, poor communication, etc.).
The 20 companies below were selected because:
- They offer flexible work-from-home roles
- They know how to make remote workers feel like they're part of the team
- They offer competitive compensation & benefits
- They're committed to fostering diverse and inclusive workspaces
Some of the companies below have fully remote teams, while others have a mixture of work-from-home and in-office roles, but all of these companies offer remote employees the flexibility they crave, and the same resources, professional development, support, and benefits as in-office employees.
