Work from home is one of the welcome holdovers of the pandemic that isn\u0027t going anywhere a new study of professional in 27 countries found. Read on.
In any case, online polling increasingly is the only polling we’ve got and, as the economists point out, it survives market tests: people with real bottom lines find it useful. What the data tell us about WFH is that it’s now very common. Across the 27 countries, respondents are working from home 1.5 days per week on average . In this country, the average was 2.2 days.
Why the strong preference for WFH? Eliminating commutes is a big factor. The average reported commute time was 64 minutes, round trip. In this country it was actually a little lower, at 58 minutes, while in India it was 93 minutes and in China, 96. How to close the WFH gap between employers and employees? One obvious way is salary adjustment. How much of a pay cut, the survey asked, would you be willing to take in order to have two to three days WFH per week? On average, 5.0 per cent. In Canada, 5.1 per cent. In the U.S., 5.7 per cent. That doesn’t strike me as a lot, especially since the highly educated workers who were over-sampled likely face high marginal tax rates, so the sacrifice of after-tax pay is maybe half the stated value.
