More than half of specialists want partial remote work after the pandemic

As much as 52 percent of professionals and managers expect to work remotely three days a week or more, after the pandemic is over,  according to a study by Antal and Cushman & Wakefield. Every tenth person asked for such a mode of work would even accept a salary reduction.

The second edition of the report Flexibility of specialists and managers in the labor market describes trends in, among others, in terms of working time, place of its performance, but also – their role.

According to the study, over 30 percent of professionals and managers believe that they are working more than before the pandemic and have difficulty distinguishing between work and leisure. More than half of the respondents believe that they work as much as usual and devote the same amount of time to private development.

Currently, every third respondent does not have the possibility to work remotely in his company. 41 percent of the respondents do not work in the office at all, and almost every third specialist returned to work in the hybrid model, combining work from the office with work remotely.

The report indicated that remote work divides corporate managers and employees into two almost equal groups. Some argue that working outside the office is more efficient. Others believe that the real job is in the office, and if they can't see their employees, then they're not working.
