from Desarrollo Hosted by desarrollo
Because of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, more of us are working from our homes than ever before. But as the world opens back up and lockdowns are lifted, many people will be expected to return to the office. For some people this is a good thing, but according to a survey by the recruitment company Hackajob, most technology professionals would prefer to stay at home. The results of the survey were shared with the website City A.M. It found that 86% of technology professionals want to be able to work from home at least some of the time after the pandemic has ended. Of the 1,700 professionals who were surveyed, a quarter said they wanted to work from home permanently. Another 60% said they would be happy to work in the office for part of the week, and to work from home the rest of the time. CEO of Hackajob, Mark Chaffey, said that people are happier and more comfortable working from home, and that they are just as good at their jobs. In fact, he said that with less distractions at home and no need to travel to work, people get more done than they would at the office. The survey also found that 80% of technology professionals do not think that they would still be with the same company in two years. Chaffey said that this might mean that today's tech workers want to be able to move to jobs that they enjoy or are better for their careers, more than they want job security.
