Among the publisher\u2019s picks for 2021 was \u2018hybrid working\u2019. Most<br>talented professionals would agree it was a great choice. Pre-pandemic, 90% of the<br>world traveled into the office every day, whereas now the very idea seems like<br>something from a bygone age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">But it would be wrong to see this change as merely the result of COVID.<br>Rather, the virus was a catalyst. What actually enabled the upheaval in our working<br>habits was two converging sets of opinions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our recent whitepaper\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/2022\/10\/11\/is-hybrid-working\/\">Is Hybrid Working<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>demonstrated that men are far more likely than women to want to work fully remotely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Firstly, there was an increasingly vocal group of (mostly younger) professionals<br>who were demanding more flexible forms of working. This was the same prescient<br>generation who made much of the early running on such ideas as corporate<br>purpose, sustainability and work\/life balance. But their preference for working from<br>home was often seen as a step too far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Secondly, there was a group of (mostly older) professionals who were finally<br>persuaded that remote working needn\u2019t mean a drop in productivity. Indeed, many<br>of these senior leaders were pleasantly surprised to discover other benefits to<br>working from home. They got to spend more time with their kids, for example, and<br>they didn\u2019t have to dress up in a suit every day.<br>With both these cohorts finally in agreement, the brave new world of WFH was<br>upon us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, check out our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/whitecrowresearch.com\/executive-solutions\">Executive Solutions<\/a>&nbsp;here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">But as the memory of COVID recedes, it\u2019s worth checking on whether sentiment<br>has changed at all. How are those younger professionals enjoying working from<br>their bedrooms? Are they as enthusiastic as ever or is it a case of careful what you<br>wish for? Alternatively, are the managerial community having second thoughts?<br>What is the data saying about productivity? And what is the impact on training,<br>mentoring, team cohesion and workplace culture?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We spoke to over 100 professionals across all sectors, asking them for their<br>thoughts on remote working and measuring whether these aligned with those of<br>their employers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The results seem to suggest we\u2019ve arrived at a delicate balance between what<br>workers want and what employers are willing to provide. Nevertheless, certain<br>tensions are also apparent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, check out our Article&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/2023\/02\/14\/dont-worry-be-happy\/\">Don\u2019t Worry, Be Happy<\/a>&nbsp;here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fig. 1: Current &amp; preferred working arrangements (All)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Current-working-arrangements-all.jpg\" alt=\"Current working arrangements (All)\" class=\"wp-image-611\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Current-working-arrangements-all.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Current-working-arrangements-all-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Current-working-arrangements-all-150x125.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Preferred-working-arrangements-all-1.jpg\" alt=\"Preferred working arrangements (All)\" class=\"wp-image-613\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Preferred-working-arrangements-all-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Preferred-working-arrangements-all-1-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Preferred-working-arrangements-all-1-150x125.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Know what is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/2023\/04\/27\/candidate-experience-what-companies-get-wrong\/\">Candidate Experience and What Companies Get Wrong<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Figures 1 illustrates, 61% of our sample group are currently working to a hybrid<br>arrangement \u2013 that is, some days they go into the office and other days they don\u2019t.<br>This accords impressively with the same group\u2019s actual preference, with 65% saying<br>hybrid working is their favored option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This prompts an obvious question: what do the other 35% prefer \u2013 fully remote or<br>fully onsite? Here, we see some surprising results. Most eye-catchingly, only 13%<br>of people want to be fully remote. Admittedly, this is still more than those who are<br>actually remote (11%) but it still shows that the vast majority place considerable<br>value on onsite or hybrid working. We can also confirm that many of the remote<br>working enthusiasts were in the tech sector, often performing contract roles of<br>relatively short duration. It makes sense that these people would place less value<br>on getting to know colleagues and contributing to a specific workplace culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our complete \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/\">Resources from Industry Experts<\/a>\u201d is now available here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Conversely, when we quizzed the 87% on why they disliked the idea of fully remote<br>working they tended to mention the same points: the importance of building<br>relationships with colleagues; the opportunity to benefit from formal training; or<br>simply the enjoyment that comes with being part of a shared enterprise.<br>In fact, so important are these notions in some people\u2019s minds that they would<br>actually prefer to be in the office every day of the week. Nearly a quarter (22%) of<br>our sample group said they favoured this arrangement \u2013 a far higher percentage<br>than we would have expected, albeit lower than the number who are actually<br>working fully onsite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also thought it might be interesting to filter our results by gender. Much of<br>the great work that companies are doing around diversity focuses on workplace<br>experience, so it is important to understand what sort of workplace women and<br>men prefer. Is it an office or a coffee table? What we discovered was that males<br>and females are closely aligned in their overall preference for hybrid working, but<br>surprisingly far apart when it comes to the costs and benefits of remote working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read our new article on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/2023\/07\/12\/who-cares-wins\/\">Who Cares Wins<\/a>&nbsp;here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fig. 2: Current &amp; preferred working arrangements (Women)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Current-working-arrangements-female.jpg\" alt=\"Current working arrangements (Women)\" class=\"wp-image-614\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Current-working-arrangements-female.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Current-working-arrangements-female-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Current-working-arrangements-female-150x125.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Preferred-working-arrangements-female.jpg\" alt=\"Preferred working arrangements (Women)\" class=\"wp-image-615\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Preferred-working-arrangements-female.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Preferred-working-arrangements-female-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Preferred-working-arrangements-female-150x125.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fig. 3: Current &amp; preferred working arrangements (Men)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Current-working-arrangements-male.jpg\" alt=\"Current &amp; preferred working arrangements (Men)\" class=\"wp-image-616\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Current-working-arrangements-male.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Current-working-arrangements-male-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Current-working-arrangements-male-150x125.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Preferred-working-arrangements-male.jpg\" alt=\"Preferred working arrangements (Men)\" class=\"wp-image-617\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Preferred-working-arrangements-male.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Preferred-working-arrangements-male-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.whitecrowresearch.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Preferred-working-arrangements-male-150x125.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take hybrid working first. We saw in our overall statistics that this was the<br>preferred setup for most (65%) of our sources. This aligns closely with the result for<br>both men (67%) and women (62%). However, while 17% of male sources said they\u2019d<br>be happy to work fully remote, only 7% of females said this would be their preferred<br>option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This being the case, it is not surprising that we also see a wide disparity between<br>men and women when it comes to fully onsite working. Here, the tables are turned,<br>with 31% of women stating this as their preference but only 16% of men saying the<br>same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out our Quarterly Published&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/the%20whitecrow%20whisper\/\">The WhiteCrow Whisper<\/a>&nbsp;to help you with Recruitment&nbsp;here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has implications not just for recruiters but also for professionals engaged<br>in work around inclusivity and corporate culture. What is driving this disparity<br>between men and women when it comes to workplace preferences? Do females<br>attach more value to building relationships with colleagues? Are men less team spirited or are they just more likely to enjoy working on their own? Obviously, we<br>are wandering into the realm of speculation here, but the questions are surely<br>pertinent. If we agree that some industries suffer from a lack of gender diversity,<br>it appears we may be compounding the problem by allowing the practice of fully<br>remote working to become more established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And what of the future? We spoke earlier of productivity and the widely held<br>concern that this might be depressed by allowing people to work from home. The<br>consensus now seems to be that this was an unfounded fear, but is the evidence<br>really in on this point? True, OECD figures show that the most productive countries are not necessarily those with the longest working week \u2013 Luxembourg, for<br>example, is far more productive than Greece, but has an average working week<br>of 29 hours compared to Greece\u2019s 39.1 hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But our focus in this paper is not so much upon the numbers of hours worked as where they are worked from. It may take another few years of hybrid and remote working before we see the full effect on output per capita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, of course, there will be new developments which further complicate the<br>picture. One work-related concept which is gaining increasing traction is the four day week. This was famously derided as a \u201ccrackpot idea\u201d by Boris Johnson, but<br>some companies claim to have adopted it without any noticeable drop in output.<br>If the practice catches on more widely, what effect will this have on workplace<br>preferences? If you\u2019re coming into the office three days a week now, will you drop to<br>just two days? If so, how is that going to land with your employer? But if not, you\u2019re<br>suddenly spending 75% of your time in the office \u2013 probably not what you signed<br>up for when you agreed to hybrid working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, check out our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitecrow.co\/resources\/employers\/\">Resources for Employers<\/a>&nbsp;for Recruitment here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To summarize, the great majority of workers enjoy hybrid working. This is also what<br>the majority of employers provide. So far so good. But there are also reasonably<br>large numbers of people who\u2019d prefer to work from home five days a week.<br>The majority of these are men. By contrast, significant percentages of female<br>workers would be happy to work fully onsite. These findings show that the global<br>workplace\u2019s seemingly placid \u2018new normal\u2019 is shot through with a delicate network<br>of tensions. It is only the companies who understand \u2013 and carefully address \u2013<br>these tensions that will thrive in our post-COVID world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There was an increasingly vocal group of (mostly younger) professionals who were demanding more flexible forms of working.
