Project description

It�s been almost three years since many office workers packed up their laptops and started working from home. The COVID-imposed office exodus happened remarkably quickly. Near universal access to technology meant work could continue � from almost anywhere. Of course, it wasn�t always smooth-sailing. Zoom fatigue set in as employees juggled working from home, home schooling, and �stay in place� orders. But many office-based workers adapted. And now, the Working from Home genie is well and truly out of the bottle. Recent research from the UNSW Business School�s Hybrid Leadership lab has shown that many employees now prefer to have the option to work from home. A 2021 World Economic Forum survey of 12,500 workers across 29 countries found that two-thirds wanted to work flexibly.
