Summary
Everything different after corona? It is clear to most observers that the pandemic has also massively changed the world of work. But which changes are only temporary and which will really endure?
In Part 2, we take a look at working from home, remote working and hybrid working. In total, softgarden surveyed over 3,500 applicants and 251 HR managers for this part of the series “The New Era of Work”.
In the first part of this study series, we were able to show that well over two thirds of job seekers are already specifically looking for jobs that they can do from home. But how do applicants actually envisage their working day? How high should the proportion of office work and remote work really be?
In most cases, the answer seems to be hybrid working, so a mixture of both forms of work. Both applicants and HR managers emphasise the advantages of working from home as well as the benefits of traditional office work and support the hybrid model, but so far only a fraction of companies have actually adapted to it. However, there is a need for haste, as the old office world will not return and candidates’ expectations of suitable offers are growing rapidly. This softgarden study helps companies on their way to creating flexible home office and remote options and thus becoming more attractive to top candidates.
