Home Office Trends, Growing Sectors, Salaries, Where to Find Jobs and Tips for Working from Home in 2025 in Brazil.
Remote work gained strength during the pandemic. But what’s the scenario for working from home in 2025? Is home office here to stay or is it declining? This guide analyzes current trends. It shows the best remote jobs, salaries, and where to find your opportunity to work from home in 2025.
2025 Outlook: Is Home Office in Brazil Growing or Declining?
The home office scenario in Brazil in 2025 is complex. Data shows a movement towards returning to offices or limited hybrid models. Research from Korn Ferry (2024/2025) indicates that 61% of companies prefer only two remote days per week. Data from FGV showed a drop in overall adoption (from 57.5% in 2021 to 32.7% in 2022). Another study (Swile/Leme) indicates that 100% onsite companies (33%) now surpass hybrid ones (32%) in 2025, with full home office restricted to 13% (mainly IT). Among companies that changed rules, 86% decreased remote days; 88% of those planning to change will do the same.
Globally, the trend is towards stabilization. About 6% of new global job openings are remote. In the U.S., 29% of workdays were still from home (April 2025). Research (Robert Half, Gallup) shows strong hybrid (52-62%) and remote (11-27%) presence among American workers.

Interestingly, Brazilian companies report increased productivity with home office (~30% in 2022 saw gains), yet still reduce flexibility. The difficulty in attracting talent (41% of companies) is a challenge created by this reduction. There is a tension: companies value presence (culture, control?), while professionals seek flexibility.
Is Hybrid the New Normal? The Preference of Brazilian Companies
Yes, the hybrid model has taken hold, but with limits. The clear preference of Brazilian companies is for hybrid with a few remote days. The format of 2 days at home is the favorite (61%). Models with 3 remote days have lost ground (from 27% to 21%), while the 1 remote day option has gained (from 9% to 17%).
Fully remote work is a restricted option in Brazil, allowed by only 13% of companies, concentrated in technology. The 100% on-site regime is still strong (20% to 33% of companies). This setup creates a conflict with workers’ desire for more flexibility, impacting talent attraction and retention.
What Professionals Want: The Search for Flexibility to Work from Home in 2025
For professionals, flexibility is the top priority in 2025. Research by Robert Half shows that 76% consider flexibility crucial for staying with the company. Globally, work-life balance (83%) and remote work (81%) are more important than salary. The lack of flexibility leads many to look for another job.
The preference is clear for flexible models. In the U.S., 48% of candidates seek hybrid options and 26% want fully remote work. Perceived benefits include time savings (commuting), flexible hours, improved mental health, and cost savings. Remote job openings attract many more candidates (60% of applications for 20% of vacancies). Companies that reduce flexibility face difficulties in retaining talent, especially experienced workers and women. Flexibility has become a central part of the value offered to employees.
