Rishi's warning

[SueEllen]

Rishi is correct about the benefits of working in the office.

Also don't forget that long term permies probably haven't had an office at home like many/most contractors will have done and will have been working from the kitchen table rather than a dedicated home office. We're using our box room as my office at the moment but would ideally kit it out as a guest bedroom. Not possible due to working from home so we're compromised by the current arrangement.

They have actually done studies on this before, and I've worked at companies who have moved to a WFH model. (Interesting to turn up and be told you had a desk but from Monday you won't have one.)

The division is actually on age rather than employee status. So those who are older are more likely to have space to work from home e.g. a dedicated office, spare bedroom or cubbyhole in hall.

Those who have children under about 6 tend to be split on whether they want to WFH or not. Those without external childcare prefer to work in the office.
