People working from home during the pandemic have discovered guilty pleasures they would like to keep, according to a study.
During research commissioned by cybersecurity company Kaspersky on the opportunities opened up by working from home in SA, 15% of respondents said they liked working without clothes.
Other novelties favoured by employees in SA include weekday lie-ins (42%), binge-watching Netflix (33%) and working outside in the garden or on a balcony (32%).
Commenting on the global study s overall findings, the company said: Aside from working in the nude, which is still far from mainstream, the majority of respondents benefitted from simply working in comfortable clothes: 66% got used to this lifestyle and would like to make it the norm in the future.
