This is according to data from a salary survey of 2 000 white-collar professionals conducted bySamantha-Jane Gravett, an associate director at Robert Walters Africa, said that 2020 was the year of the world’s largest remote working experiment. “Employers would be amiss to think that there wouldn’t be some long-term changes to employee expectations as a result.”
But not everyone can work from home. Jahni de Villiers, an industrial and labour relations specialist, said being able to work from home depends on the workplace. She said employers needed to do proper risk assessments and determine who should be in the office and when. “It’s important that employers creatively think about this,” she said, adding that in sectors such as retail, farming and manufacturing, employees needed to be on-site.
De Villiers said some employees do not have set start and end times to their working days. “It’s nice to be able to attend meetings in your pyjamas, but in reality, you are online and available whenever you are awake, which isn’t healthy.” According to the data, 29% of professionals said they enjoyed the flexible hours afforded by working at home. Almost a third said that working from home had allowed for an increased focus on wellbeing and 35% found the more regular updates and check-in calls from managers and colleagues during lockdown to be a positive change to their work environment.
