ResumeBuilder.com, the online resume site, conducted a survey on remote work, revealing that 6 out of 10 workers say that returning to the office has improved their productivity.
They said that remote work was here to stay, but today employers prefer their workers to be in the office, so they have been requesting that they return to performing their duties as they did before the pandemic.
With most companies insisting that workers return to the office, questions have grown as to whether or not workers are just as productive at home.
To find out where workers are currently working from and how those who have returned to the office feel their productivity has been affected, ResumeBuilder.com surveyed 1,500 full-time corporate workers in June.
Survey Findings:
· 85% of workers go to the office at least once a week.
· 63% say that going back to the office has improved their productivity; Generation Z is more likely than other generations to feel this way.
· The main reason for improving productivity is more efficient teamwork.
· Only 13% say that returning to the office has worsened their productivity; 1 in 4 say it’s the result of resenting their employer for forced RTO.
· 6 out of 10 workers would prefer to work fewer days from the office despite improved productivity.
Despite feeling they are more productive in the office, 60% of those who cited improved productivity would prefer to work less from the office than they currently are, and 38% would prefer to work completely remotely.
“It is important to note that productivity and work preferences can vary between people. It’s all about finding the right balance and environment that works best for each individual and their specific job requirements,” says Eric Jones, CEO of Couture Candy.
“When working remotely, it can be difficult to set boundaries and maintain a healthy work-life balance. Being physically present in an office can help people better compartmentalize their professional and personal responsibilities,” added Jones.
