What really is BETTER - working remotely or from the office?

In what country did young employees work the most number of days from home?  Canada!

In one study, Canadian employees who were recent graduates worked an average of 1.9 days per week from home.  The U.K. and U.S. rounded out the top three.  Asian countries had the lowest levels when it came to remote work.

Many people say remote work is more convenient, more productive, and less hassle with travel and time pressures.

But remote work has its downsides too.  According to the Harvard Business Review and other sources, there’s growing evidence that remote and hybrid work have a dampening effect on job performance.  And there are other issues such as high turnover, isolation and loss of collaboration, managing remote workers, just to name a few.

Nita Chhinzer, an expert on our changing work world, explores current issues and what the future of work looks like!
