Huge survey shows 86% of Irish employees want to work remotely in future

Remote working is something that almost all workers would like to see in the future, a new survey found.

The study, conducted by Amarách Research for Fórsa trade union over five days in July, found that 86% of people were interested in working remotely.However, this figure fell to 66% for workers aged under 30, suggesting that younger workers face particular challenges in home working.Fórsa’s head of communications Bernard Harbor said strong employer support for remote working had also been identified in earlier studies, including in research conducted by the DBEI last year.

“Workers value the flexibility that remote working can bring, while managers cite access to talent, improved productivity and cost savings as benefits.“The need to address barriers to increased remote working, including the lack of a clear legislative framework and awareness of supports, has become more pressing.
