New research by Locatee, carried out by YouGov, reveals interesting insights into UK office workers’ attitudes towards productivity, job security, and the prospect of continued WFH during Covid-19 restrictions.
Highlights of the study include:

- If given the choice, just 7 percent of respondents would return to the office full time, 18 percent would work from home every day, whilst 32 percent would work from home most days.
- Those with three or more children are the most likely to want to return to the office permanently (11 percent).
- Why do people want to work from home? 72 percent say ‘comfort’, 50 percent say they feel more productive, and 50 percent feel that time spent commuting is too high.
- However, remote work isn’t a full-time solution. Just 13 percent of respondents feel they manage or train teams as effectively when working remotely.
- Job security over the next year is a concern for over a quarter of respondents (28 percent).
