A survey commissioned by global marketing and content company, ClickOut Media, has reinforced the company’s fully remote working policy as over 30% of UK workers said they would consider turning down a job if it required more than three days in the office per week.
The survey of 2,000 UK workers also revealed that a third of those asked were worried that their employer would increase the number of mandatory office days.
Over 30% said they would prefer four or even five days of working from home per week, with the main reasons being avoiding a commute, less money spent on travelling and food, the ability to manage personal tasks, and fewer interruptions.
The results highlight the importance of a flexible, hybrid set up for marketing companies and beyond who will risk missing out on recruiting great talent if they are to imposes strict rules around office attendance.
Speaking to theHRDIRECTOR, Click Out Media’s Head Analyst Neil Roarty was quick to emphasise the imperativeness of integrating and establishing an accommodative workforce setup.
He said: “This survey emphatically demonstrates that flexible, remote work is no longer a perk, it’s a core expectation.
“Businesses that cling to outdated, rigid office policies are not only risking talent acquisition, but they’re also fundamentally misreading the modern workforce. At ClickOut Media, we’ve always believed in empowering our team with the freedom to work from anywhere, and these findings only reinforce that commitment.”
The findings cement the desire for this flexible approach at a time when more employers, including Amazon and the US government, are requiring all personnel to work in the office five days a week, ending hybrid work arrangements that had allowed for some remote work.
ClickOut Media, a global multi-channel marketing firm who employs thousands of industry content creators, has a fully remote working policy, encouraging its team to work from anywhere in the world. The policy has enabled ClickOut Media to find the best global talent, offering its employees great freedom and independence.
