Majority stick to working from home
Two-thirds of employees would like to work at least partially from home even after the home office obligation has been lifted. This is the result of Steiner's Office Barometer 2022. The real estate developer uses the survey to develop offers in the office sector.
Hybrid work remains trendy, writes Steiner AG in a statement on the Office Barometer 2022 from the Zurich-based real estate service provider, which specializes in project development and implementation. According to the study carried out by Marketagent.com Schweiz AG on behalf of Steiner, 42 percent of those surveyed would like to split their working hours between the office and at home. A quarter would like to continue working from home even after the home office obligation has been lifted. A full return to the office is the aim of 33 percent.
The so-called office types reject the home office mainly because of the more difficult communication there on an interpersonal and professional level, explains Steiner. The same reason is given by the Hyprid types as why they only want to do part of their work at home. On the other hand, the home office types, who mostly have workplaces in open-plan offices, see no disadvantages in working from home either for themselves or for the company.
Steiner has been “intensively dealing with the working world of the future for several years,” the company explains in the press release. Among other things, Steiner held an internal competition on the subject. The company intends to use the ideas submitted there to develop offers in the office sector. The company’s own employees should also benefit from this, explains Michael Schiltknecht in the press release. “At Steiner, employees can get actively involved when it comes to developing their own workplace environment,” says the Steiner CEO.
