However, many prefer working remotely and would likely resign if asked to return to the office
Less employees worked from home in late 2021, according to the latest survey from the Federal Reserve Board, but employees expressed their unhappiness at returning to the office.
According to the board's "U.S. Households in 2021 report”, 22 per cent of employees in late 2021 were working entirely from home, down from the previous 29% in late 2020. Despite this, the number is still significantly higher than the seven per cent who were working from home before the pandemic began.
According to the report, most employees who worked from home preferred doing so and attributed their preference to work-life balance and less time commuting. They were also more likely to look for a new job if they are required to return to their offices, according to the report.
These findings reflect the growing dislike of remote work employees across the world over the notion of returning to offices - a growing trend among organisations now that vaccinations are widespread and the pandemic's effects on society are showing signs of decline.
In a similar study last year from Joblist, 51.5% of employees admitted that they left their organisations or are considering on doing so because they refuse to return to offices.
A study from Ipsos late last year also revealed that 40% of their respondents would consider looking for another job if their managers want them back at the office full-time.
