UK employees ‘most reluctant’ to return to the office
2 March 2021: If employers thought Boris Johnson’s tentative roadmap for an easing of lockdown restrictions signalled a return to the office, they may have to think again, if the results of a new survey are anything to go by.
One in four employees in the UK said they would resign from their current job if they were forced to return to the office, according to research conducted by HR software company Personio. The survey of 1,000 employees also found that more than 37% feel that their company is avoiding implementing new hybrid ways of working like flexible working schedules and is persisting with compulsory attendance.
