Some employees are afraid of going back to their offices

The Poly Evolution of the Workplace survey shows that almost 1/3 (29 percent) of Polish respondents indicate that when thinking about returning to the office in the future, they plan to work 2 days at home and 3 days in the office. The opposite tendency (2 days at the company's headquarters to 3 days at home) is indicated by 1/4 (25 percent) of the respondents. Nearly 12 percent declare that they would like to perform official duties in the 4-day model outside the company's premises, while only 3 percent of respondents expect to be in the office once every two weeks, and only 1 percent – once a month. The report also shows that 9 percent of Polish workers will have to return permanently to the well-known "stationary work" because the employer did not give them a choice.

"After more than a year of performing official duties from a place other than the office, many employees do not feel comfortable at the thought of returning to the old work model. Therefore, we are witnessing a phenomenon defined as FORTO (fear of returning to the office)," Jakub Abramczyk, Sales Director Eastern Europe at Poly, said.

Polish office workers, when asked about the factors that encourage them to return to the office, indicate better equipment and technological solutions (37 percent) and the possibility of using office space for cooperation (24 percent).
