Citrix survey reveals major divide on return to office
Offices around the world continue to open for business , and while many companies expect employees will eventually return full time , new research suggests this isn ’ t likely to happen .
According to a global survey conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Citrix Systems , employees are divided on how they want to work going forward . But one thing is clear : the majority enjoy the flexibility they ’ ve been given to work from anywhere and are willing to leave jobs to maintain it .
Of 6,500 workers polled in 10 countries , 57 % prefer hybrid work , and 69 % will ditch their current positions if it isn ’ t an option .
“ Employees have seen the positive impact flexible work can have on everything from engagement and productivity to work-life balance , mental health and the environment ,” said Traci Palmer , Vice President of People and Organization Capability , Citrix . “ And they are looking to employers to embrace it and invest in tools and processes that empower them to work when , where and how they work best .”
The flexible work model is in full effect . Of those employees surveyed in the United States , United Kingdom , France , Australia , Germany , Netherlands , Brazil , Colombia , Mexico and Japan , 71 % work or plan to work in the office between one and four days per week .
