78% of Workers Want Work from Home Flexibility After Covid-19

The majority of workers want their employer to encourage more working from home after the Covid-19 public health crisis has passed, according to our latest research.

In a poll of 5,200 global professionals, 78% say that they would like their employer to encourage more working from home. Key findings include:

  • Over three-quarters of workers want their employer to encourage more working from home; technology (82%), supply chain (82%), life sciences (81%), and finance (74%) professionals especially agree.

  • Two-thirds of engineering professionals (69%) also want their employer to encourage more working from home. However, one fifth (18%) say that such policies would not affect them.

โ€‹โ€œThis snapshot shows that employees all over the world are looking for their employer to lead this conversation,โ€ said Group Marketing Director Luis Rolim. โ€œThe option to work from home may still be new territory for many, but it is something that employers should consider if they want to prevent a talent exodus in the next three-to-six months. Companies who want to attract and secure business-critical talent must start defining what the future of their workplace looks like.โ€
