Approximately eight out of ten businesses aim to use remote working in the long run, according to an Institute of Directors poll of 700 company executives conducted in January 2022.
According to the survey, 27 percent of directors surveyed wanted their organisations to function in a completely flexible way, allowing workers to choose whether or not to work from home.
39 percent of respondents planned to implement a policy of remote working from one to four days a week, with a further 13 percent saying that their organisations will implement an entirely home-based policy.
We can’t say for sure yet if productivity has deteriorated because of the rapid adoption of remote working by many companies. Remote working was more productive for 43 percent of corporate directors questioned, while 31 percent said it was less so.
The Institute of Directors’ Senior Policy Advisor, Alexandra Hall-Chen, made the following observation:
Beyond the epidemic, it is obvious that corporations are adopting remote and hybrid working. Work-life balance and job satisfaction may be greatly enhanced by allowing workers to work from home. This results in a more motivated and productive workforce. To be sure, in today’s highly competitive job market, it might provide companies with additional options for finding qualified employees.
Remote working is not appropriate for every organisation, though. Businesses will work closely with their workers to identify the best solutions since every business’s demands are unique.
