There will be some jobs where work-from-home is simply not possible, such as for those working in the healthcare or cleaning industries.īut then there are companies where WFH arrangements are technically possible. Okay sure, I don't entirely disagree with that. "But returning to the office will boost productivity and morale even further!" To that, I say: Didn't we already survive two years of this hybrid work arrangement? Were the KPIs and deliverables not fulfilled? Now, I know what you're thinking: "But having a work-from-home arrangement means less productivity!" In fact, in a recent Institute of Policy Studies paper released in 2022, around 20 to 35 per cent of those polled said that working from home on most days should be the norm, according to The Straits Times. A study by Microsoft also shows that staff have crafted and adapted to new routines, such as building different familial responsibilities and even exercise routines into their daily schedule. WFH has allowed many of us to sneak in an extra hour of rest or time with our family because we save on commuting time. And perhaps eventually reverting to the pre-Covid-19 "normal".ĭo we really need to be in the office five days a week?

Perhaps you're secretly disappointed that you will have to return to the office more, or maybe you're pleased because you think that you can finally get your business back to the way it used to be.Īs the Covid-19 situation stabilises further, bosses like yourselves may be thinking of asking your employees to return to the office for as many days as possible. An earlier version of this article was first published in April 2021, shortly after the government announced that WFH would no longer be the default and up to 75 per cent of employees would be able to return to offices.Īs you already know, all employees may now return to the workplace - an increase from the previous limit of 75 per cent of those who can work from home.
