Across the board, remote workers gave lower average ratings to other workplace challenges than in-person workers. Notably, finding space to work was the one challenge neither group found particularly challenging. Fully in-person respondents gave the challenge an average rating of 1.7 out of 7, while fully remote respondents gave it an average of 1.2 out of 7. Remote workers reported having a significantly easier time getting the equipment they needed than in- person workers. They rated this challenge an average of 1.8 out of 7, as opposed to fully in-person workers, who rated it 3.5 out of 7. This could be because employers with remote workers are doing a good job equipping them, but it's also possible that the roles of fully in-person respondents (which, again, included job functions like facilities maintenance and design and construction) required them to have access to more specialized and difficult-to-obtain equipment than remote workers.
