Remote work ‘did not solve’ the talent shortage in LatAm

The work-from-home arrangement didn’t help with the talent shortage in Latin America, according to a study by venture capital firm Atlantico.

Based on their report, about 35% of the employees who have lost their jobs amid the pandemic have now taken a job outside their country.

About 29% of HR managers said that they lost their remote workers to foreign employers, with 16% of them losing employees to companies outside Latin America.

LatAm companies have also hired foreign remote workers throughout the year, with 40% of respondents hiring individuals from other countries within the region.
