In one of our recent LinkedIn posts, we asked you whether you prefer working from home or from the office. There were 632 votes and the results ended up quite tight.
Up to 38% of respondents voted for a constant home office. That fact is not quite surprising. Staying at home brings many advantages such as not having to commute, working on our own terms and also the possibility to stay in pajamas all day. In addition, 16% of voters selected working remote as most suitable. That is as fundamental as working at home. It allows employees to have their own schedule and be flexible.
However, only 3% wish to work only from the office, even though that choice brings many benefits such as social interaction, having work place and home separated for better focus and productivity.
Nevertheless, the majority, 43%, agreed that hybrid work model is the best choice. Hybrid work is a flexible approach for employees to combine working from home and office. It is actually not surprising that so many people consider this as the most valuable choice. It allows employees to work when they feel most productive but also to have a chance to work in the office during team projects. Employees are then able to have a better work-life balance which also makes them more motivated to work.
All things considered, after the pandemic, there are more possibilities to have a work-life balance. Workplaces can now rely more on the internet and hybrid work model allows employees to work according to their own schedule. Furthermore, employers can broaden their search horizon and choose talented people from all around the world who can bring new ideas.
