A majority of workers globally, 89%, said their preference in the future will be for a job that allows them to work from home at least occasionally, according to a study by Boston Consulting Group. The study included 209,000 people in 190 countries.

“People got a taste of remote work during the pandemic, and it has completely changed their expectations,” said Rainer Strack, one of the authors of the study and a senior partner at Boston Consulting Group. “It sends a very clear message that nine out of 10 people want some aspects of this to be sustained. Employers can’t treat working from home as an occasional perk anymore.”

Most people prefer a hybrid model, with two or three days a week from home and the rest in the office, according to the study. And it isn’t just those in digital, knowledge and office jobs — many of whom are already working remotely — who want more workplace flexibility on a permanent basis. Even study participants who have jobs that require the handling of physical goods or contact with clients expressed a desire for setups that would allow them to work remotely at least occasionally.

However, only one in four workers would switch to a completely remote model if they could. Fully remote work was, for the most part, particularly unpopular in developed countries; only 7% of people in Denmark and 8% of people in both Switzerland and France would choose that route. However, in the US, the percent was 35%.
