Five days of work per week? Then preferably one and a half days in the office and the rest at home

A recent survey reveals that employees prefer to work 1.5 days in the office and 3.5 days from home each week. This shift towards remote work has become a significant employment condition since the pandemic, impacting social cohesion at workplaces. While many companies are pushing for more in-office presence, studies indicate that remote work can hinder training opportunities for junior staff and reduce team spirit. Younger employees tend to favor office environments more than older ones, and sectors like finance and IT show a preference for hybrid work. Experts warn that excessive remote work may lead to feelings of isolation and decreased collaboration among teams, urging a balance between remote and in-office work to foster better relationships and productivity.
