Sun, sea & spreadsheets | 88% of staff plan to 'work from anywhere' this year

Hybrid working is going overseas - with a massive 88% of workers say they are planning to work from anywhere – UK or abroad – this year, new research reveals.

IWG, the world’s largest flexible workspace operator, also found that more than half (57%) of workers planning to extend holidays this year to work abroad, as hybrid working opens new opportunities for employees, with companies are responding accordingly.

Major names from Airbnb to Spotify have introduced work-from-anywhere policies to give employees even more flexibility when they travel.

The new research of over 1,000 workers, undertaken by IWG, reveals that more than three in five (67%) workers agree that they can perform their job effectively abroad and 71% say they would only consider a new job that gave them the flexibility to work from anywhere, at least some of the time.
