It looks as though remote working will continue to be part of the daily routine for people for some time to come. The impact of remote working has already affected the housing market. As you would expect, as this involves a significant amount of money, it is the aspect which the media focuses on.
There are calls for continued remote working
YouGov carried out two online focus groups in the summer of 2020 – one group with those whose offices are based in London, the other with offices based across the UK – in an attempt to determine how people felt about working remotely.
The general consensus was that because of the COVID-19 pandemic, most people would prefer to work remotely, one way or another. Reasons for this opinion included the general convenience of working from home, well-being benefits and a greater level of productivity.
Businesses and employees need support when it comes to remote working
However, the most important thing about remote working right now is how people and businesses adapt to the process. It is a challenge for companies and employees, and there is a need for both groups to work together to achieve success.
