S MAG | Going to meetings half-dressed, getting caught in the act: the new face of work during lockdown

The majority of employees who participated in the poll are adapting their daily routines. While only 24% of them are starting their day at the same time they did when they commuted to the office; the rest are working around a new clock, with 25% reporting more sleep and 22% sleeping until the last minute before they have to be online.

With everyone stuck at home, employees are learning how to share their work space with a variety of different people, from partners to children, parents, extended family, and even roommates. While some people are working from home, others are working from their second homes or holiday homes, parents’ houses, or even hotels.
