According to techspot, a Cisco report revealed some attitudes towards telecommuting and mixed office In a survey of 1050 British employees, 75% said that their managers trust them to work efficiently at home Whether this is really the view of their managers, or just the idea of the employees, is debatable.
The most interesting finding was that although most people thought they were more efficient when working remotely, 61% said they could not trust their colleagues to do the same. The survey also found that 43% of the respondents thought their boss had more micromanagement in remote work or mixed plans.
Like other reports, the findings here suggest that the benefits of not working full-time in the office outweigh the negative factors, such as reduced contact with colleagues, bosses and the company. 79% of the respondents said they were more satisfied with this arrangement, and 57% said their productivity and work quality had improved.
In other aspects, almost three quarters of the people said that their emotional, financial, spiritual, physical and social welfare had been improved through remote and mixed office, and 78% said that it had improved their work life balance. Less than half said their stress levels had dropped, and about 65 percent said their physical fitness and relationships with their families had improved.
Jen scherler Gormley, head of people and communities in Cisco UK and Ireland, said: "obviously, mixed office will continue to exist, and there are good reasons, because employees and enterprises see the practical benefits of key indicators - from improving the overall health of employees to improving productivity and job performance."
A similar report last month found that most employees do not want to return to the office and may resign due to lack of flexibility, such as Apple The company's former machine learning director. An earlier study also found that people are willing to cut wages and lose benefits to continue working at home.
