Why Some Employees Don't Want to Continue Remote Work

Two new surveys show productivity and burnout rise among remote workers

Two new surveys show that teams forced into remote work during the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic are split on whether they want to continue working remotely going forward. However, in those same surveys, many business leaders responsible for the bottom line are planning to make remote work permanent.

Whereby, a company that provides video collaboration, surveyed 1,500 British professionals who began working from home following stay-at-home orders. Only 13 percent said they want to work entirely remotely going forward. Many more (51 percent) said they'd want some flexibility, but they weren't eager to go all-remote all the time.

A second survey of 410 senior and mid-level American business people conducted by the process automation company Pipefy showed similar ambivalence towards remote work. Only 20 percent of newly remote workers said they'd like to work remotely full-time. 41 percent said they'd prefer to head back to the office, and 39 percent said they'd like flexibility.
