Just over two years ago, many of us started working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout this period, many have become attached to the flexibility that remote and hybrid work offers. At the beginning of 2021, we ran a survey on 180 UK workers from over 100 companies asking questions on their predicted return to office date, expected office headcounts and plans regarding flexible working.
This year, we wanted to compare these predictions with what actually happened. Last month, we ran a new survey on over 200 UK employees asking questions surrounding changes in company culture, hybrid working patterns and the pros and cons of returning to the office. We undertook this new survey to gain a better understanding of what the reality of returning to the office looks like in 2022, and how their approach to maintaining employee wellbeing has adapted to this new way of working.
Results have shown a more positive outlook towards returning to the office, especially under a hybrid model. People are still most-looking forward to seeing their colleagues and being able to socialise and collaborate with them.
