Eight out of ten employees do not work from home at all, suggesting that the idea that traditional office space is on its way out may not be an accurate representation of the workspace market.
In a poll of 1,000 office workers, the British Council for Offices (BCO) found that 79% of staff do not work from home. The same number value the benefits of being able to meet colleagues face to face in a shared communal space and like to interact with other employees.
The survey revealed that other perks of working in an office setting include the access to files and technology in addition to better computer hardware and software.
Gary Wingrove, President of the BCO, said: “We live in an age where – in theory – we can work almost anywhere. Despite this, the research suggests that employees are still inherently wedded to the office for collaboration and stimulation. It is therefore more important than ever that businesses prioritise their staff as the ultimate end users of the workplace, and invest time and money in implementing office designs which accommodate different types of work.”
He added: “Whether cellular or open plan, without doubt it is those workplaces designed and fitted-out with the needs of employees in mind which provide a greater financial return on investment by improving staff morale and therefore levels of productivity and efficiency.”
However, about half of the respondents in the poll did outline some of the biggest benefits of working from home, such as the lack of interruptions and the quiet. Just over a third said it was easier to concentrate.
