Future of work | How have employees developed when working from home? Pretty well actually.

By Lord Mark Price, Founder, WorkL for Business

If business owners and HR managers had been told a year ago that the majority of the British, indeed global, workforce would be spending the next year working from home, there would have been high anxiety. 

The main fear being reduced productivity. But, as our data from WorkL for Business shows, working from home or rather working differently, has not been a disaster. It has instead led to a marked uptick in satisfaction.

Employees might enjoy the flexibility but a challenge HR has had to overcome is development. How do you develop employees when they are at home? It seems that whatever virtual ‘away days’ employers have implemented, it’s gone rather well. Our data shows those working from home feel more developed than those continuing to work in the office.
