7.5m workers
in the UK are
hoping to work
from home
permanently
post-lockdown
New research from Deloitte
has revealed that more than
one in fi ve UK workers (23
per cent) – the equivalent
of 7.5 million – are hoping
to work from home all, or
almost all, of the time once
lockdown restrictions have
lifted. The fi ndings, based
on a survey of 1,248 UK
workers across a number of
industries, found that the
proportion of workers hoping
to base themselves from
home most of the time has
more than doubled in the last
year. Just one in 10 (11 per
cent) – the equivalent of 3.6
million workers – did their
jobs from home for all, or
almost all, of the week before
lockdown restrictions were
fi rst imposed. Only 28 per
cent of workers don’t ever
plan on working from home
once lockdown restrictions
have lifted, down from 50
per cent who said the same
in March 2020, with 42 per
cent of workers hoping to do
their jobs from home twice
a week or more. Employees
currently based at home are
twice as likely to think they
work best there (40 per cent),
compared to in a workplace
(21 per cent). More than two
in fi ve (42 per cent) say they
like not having to commute,
with 40 per cent fi nding it
more effi cient and 34 per cent
feeling more relaxed.
For those fi nding working
from home challenging
however, 39 per cent say
it’s hard to stay motivated,
while 34 per cent fi nd it
diffi cult to maintain a work
life balance and 33 per
cent feel isolated or lonely.
However, Deloitte’s research
highlights younger workers
are struggling while working
away from the offi ce. More
than half (58 per cent)
of employees aged under
35 doing their jobs from
home say they are fi nding
it ‘challenging’, up from an
average of 44 per cent for all
home workers, with 37 per
cent of under-35s saying they
feel ‘overwhelmed’ by the
diff erent technologies they
need to use for their role.
