Turns out we really missed the office after all
Remember the first few months of last year…. sitting in the lounge room in your tracksuit pants, office shirt above, on a four hour long zoom.
Thinking “this is the life, no rush to get to work, cutting the cost of transport costs, spending more time with the cat”.
Well the love of WFH didn’t last long.
White-collar workers in the UK returned to their offices in numbers not seen since the start of the pandemic.
The vaccination rollout continues and lockdown restrictions ease – so workers are fed up at home and back out and about.
Office occupancy levels across the UK topped 40 per cent Tuesday through Thursday last week.
That’s higher than any point since the 72 per cent recorded in March last year shortly before the government urged the public to move to working remotely.
The new numbers come as companies grapple to anticipate how many people will want to return to the office and how to accommodate those who do – especially when many companies moved out of their corporate offices in a bid to survive during the pandemic.
