A recent survey reveals 43 per cent of Canadians do not enjoy going to their current workplace
Let’s start Monday off with a question: Would you rather sit in the middle seat of an airplane for the rest of your life when flying or go into the office every day?by iQ Offices, Canada’s largest independent co-working operator, found 40 per cent of Canadians would rather opt for that dreaded middle seat than return to their current office environment full time. This certainly says something about how much we value working from home, at least a few days a week.
However, the popular belief that “no one” wants to return to the office is a misconception. While fully remote work has become the norm for many since the pandemic, the survey shows 43 per cent of Canadians actually prefer working in-office, either full time or in a hybrid capacity. This suggests that under the right conditions, Canadians are open to returning to the office – but it has to meet their needs.
Mr. Willmott says companies that are fully remote, or are considering a hybrid working arrangement, can leverage resources like co-working spaces to bring their people together at key times, increase engagement, and test the waters.
