State of Remote Work
How employees across the UK feel about working remotely in a post-COVID-19 world, their new workplace expectations, and top concerns when they return to office.
Introduction
2020 is the year the world went remote.
The COVID-19 pandemic forced organisations around the world to quickly adapt to a new remote reality, in some cases for the first time, in the largest work-from-home shift ever. We’ve officially fast-tracked to the future of work.
Meetings suddenly became Zoom meetings, with video calls happening at a rate not seen before COVID-19. Not only did people embrace remote work, they have now grown to expect it. After six months of working from home full-time, we learned that UK workers prefer remote work, with almost one in two workers willing to take a pay cut to continue working from home in the long term.
For Owl Labs’ 2020 UK State of Remote Work report, we learn more about the current state of remote work in 2020 and UK workers' new expectations. We wanted to uncover remote work statistics and gather the current work-from-home trends to provide you with a comprehensive remote work benchmark report during COVID-19.
