It could be the physical office, their home, caf\u00e9s, co-working spaces, and even vacation spots!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The trend is potentially fuelled by the removal of Covid-19 travel restrictions globally and a strong rebound in international tourism. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ons.gov.uk\/peoplepopulationandcommunity\/leisureandtourism\/bulletins\/overseastravelandtourism\/april2022provisionalresults\">ONS data<\/a>, UK residents made 5.6 million visits overseas in April 2022. Comparably, there were just 260,000 visits by air in April 2021.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve also seen a rise in countries inviting in international workers by offering digital nomad visas, making working from anywhere even easier.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/11\/svg\/1f4a1.svg\" alt=\"\" \/> Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adzuna.co.uk\/blog\/the-coolest-locations-offering-digital-nomad-visas\/\">The coolest locations offering digital nomad visas<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Work from anywhere is hot<\/h2>\n<p>Our data has discovered that more UK employers are offering this remote working perk to their employees this year.

There were more than 2,000 &#8216;work from anywhere&#8217; vacancies, 412% higher than the same time last year.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, as the cost of living crisis deepens, hiring has cooled slightly since April, which has dragged its growth.\u00a0That said, the number and proportion of \u2018work from anywhere\u2019 job vacancies within the period remained significantly stronger than in 2021, meaning this trend is here to stay.<\/p>\n<p>In September 2022, there were 1,034 &#8216;work from anywhere\u2019 vacancies, a 48% year-on-year increase. The proportion of these job openings rose from 0.06% in 2021 to 0.09%.<\/p>\n<p>Similar travel perks such as sabbatical programmes are gaining popularity among employers too. Currently, close to 2,000 vacancies featuring employee sabbatical programmes are currently on offer, and nearly a third of them are paid.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flourish-embed flourish-chart\" data-src=\"visualisation\/11563635\"><script src=\"https:\/\/public.flourish.studio\/resources\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div data-src=\"visualisation\/11563697\"><\/div>\n<h2>Top 10 sectors offering &#8216;work from anywhere&#8217; jobs<\/h2>\n<h3>1.
