- A Small
- A Medium
- A Bigger
The COVID-19 pandemic forced many employees to work from home. An Edelman survey found that 48% of respondents from 27 countries chose to return to the office. This is attributed to several reasons, such as productivity levels, safety, and a healthier work-life balance.
A majority, or 42% of respondents, felt more productive working directly from the office. Furthermore, 34% of respondents admitted that the presence of other employees made them feel safer. A healthy work-life balance was felt by 22% of respondents when working from the office.
Nevertheless, 52% of respondents overall preferred working from home due to concerns about COVID-19 exposure during commutes or at the office.
