Long Term Work From Home

Long Term Work From Home

Many of us have had flexible work from home opportunities since March 2020 when the Coronavirus pandemic changed the world overnight. It was assumed that working from home would be a short term measure and that most people would return to their places of work as soon as they possibly could. However, many businesses and employees have adapted so well that flexible from home working continues to be an option. In fact it’s said that 3 in 4 workers want to keep this level of flexibility.

The government are promoting their ‘back to work’ message but many are reluctant and employers are maintaining hybrid office and home working environments. In recent days TUI said it was ‘redefining its working culture’ and told it’s 3,000 strong office based staff to return to the office only once per month.

Andrew Flintham, managing director, said: “This move to a permanent flexible way of working will enhance our culture and organisational productivity.”

We know that staff are demanding this but how does this affect people working from home on a long-term basis, especially those that don’t have a home office or dedicated work area.

We have long talked about the benefits of flexible at home working and hybrid space but putting it into practice can be a challenge. Productivity can falter if you don’t have a good space to work from home.

Perhaps you’ve been ‘making do’ because you thought this a temporary arrangement and that you would return full time to the office. If this is not the case now is a great time to review your home working arrangements and make a real long-term strategy.
