Innisfil Remote Working Survey

Remote work (also called telecommuting or work from home) is an arrangement in which employees do not commute or travel (by transit, bicycle, car, etc) to a central place of work, such as an office building, warehouse, or store.

Pre-COVID-19, 82% of Innisfil’s workforce commuted outside of the community for work. Due to the pandemic, many people are now working remotely, some for the first time, and post-COVID-19, this remote work may continue for many.

The Town of Innisfil's Economic Development team is gathering data on remote workers, in order to understand their needs and serve them better. No personal and identifiable data will be collected, and the aggregated data may be used to guide future decision making. Innisfil's many business owners that work remotely are also encouraged to participate.
