Six charts on attitudes towards remote working and back to office

New research from digital consultancy Publicis Sapient among 7,000 people across ten countries (including the UK) sheds light on how attitudes towards work are changing. Six charts on the report’s main findings around remote working and returning to the office.

Working remotely 

Over half (54%) of the respondents globally said that their job allows them to work remotely.

However, 86% of employees think their employer can do more to make remote working a better experience by providing newer hardware and covering WiFi expenses.

Of people who can work from home, 85% would prefer to continue working from home at least a few days of the week in the future. Particularly those in the US, Canada and UK would like to stay at home a few days a week.

Returning to the office 

Although unsurprising, those living with others or children are more likely to want to go to the office most days. 

80% of the respondents said that fear of contracting Covid-19 is their main concern when returning and commuting to the office. 

Nearly half (46%) of respondents will not feel comfortable returning to the office until a vaccine is available.
