Almost half want hybrid work

According to research, 44% of British employees want some form of hybrid working, specialist publication Employee Benefits has reported.

It was quoting a Health wealth and happiness study conducted by insurance brokers LifeSearch, which asked people about their ideal working arrangement.

According to the online magazine, more than a fifth (21%) of 18 to 24 year olds and 12% of all staff would consider changing jobs if their employer did not offer the working set-up they wanted. Of those who opted for hybrid working, 44% wanted a 50/50 split, 29% would prefer to spend three-quarters of their time in the workplace and a quarter at home, and 27% preferred the reverse – working three-quarters at home and a quarter in the workplace.

However, it said, more than a third (36%) wanted to be in the workplace full time, with 46% of over 55s choosing this arrangement. This compared to 24% of 18 to 24 year olds. Just 15% want to work full-time from home, an option which rose in popularity with age. Although overall 44% would prefer some form of hybrid working, this dropped to just 27% for over-55s,.
