Summary at a Glance

The report also shone a light on a flexible working gender divide, and when asked about changes to their working policies this year, 23 per cent of men are being given more flexibility over when and where they work, compared to 14 per cent of women.

Business leaders felt strongly that a fully-remote team would see their profits suffer (71 per cent), and six in 10 (64 per cent) are actively measuring the impact of their office working policy on productivity.

When 2,000 office workers were asked how they would respond if they were mandated to come into office more, 51 per cent said they would renegotiate their compensation package with their employer.

Despite being perceived as the biggest downside of working in an office, 74 per cent of office workers are choosing to use their time on the commute productively on work tasks, according to the data carried out through OnePoll.com.

This is more common for younger workers aged 18-24 and 25-34 (91 and 88 per cent respectively) compared to those aged 55 and above (51 per cent).
