'Companies are desperate' | Are work perks really compelling workers back into the office?

Ways of working have shifted massively according to the post-pandemic needs of businesses. As a result, there's currently a tendency for employees to prefer remote or hybrid workflows. Despite the fact that many employees want to continue working from home, some businesses want to transform employee understanding of what office working really is.

When we think of an office environment, the classic image that pops into our mind is usually a desk, chair and computer screen. However, businesses across the UK are trying to overcome these 'old-fashioned' understandings attributed to office work and routines.

On the other hand, to transform and tempt employees to come back into the office or join an office-based working model will be difficult, mainly because flexible working hours and conditions make up the new norms of work.

According to a survey that Yelp conducted, 86% of respondents want to work remotely all or most of the time. Also, only one per cent is going into the office daily. These numbers show that businesses have to strive to compete with a jobs market in which the candidate has choice in where and how they work.
