Survey Says 70% Of UK Workers Will Never Return To Office Full-Time
A YouGov survey has revealed that 70% of staff will not go back to working in an office full-time, so where does this leave the commercial property sector?
Naturally, the majority of workers said that they would prefer to work from home either full-time or at least some of the time, but managers are worried that creativity in the workplace would be lost.
Half of 530 senior leaders also surveyed by polling organisation YouGov for the BBC said that workers staying at home would “adversely affect both creativity and collaboration” - against just 38% of ordinary people.
Large city firms such as investment bank Goldman Sachs and?tech giant Apple?have rejected more flexibility, with the former even?calling working from home an "aberration".
Managers and members of the public surveyed for the BBC agreed, however, that neither productivity nor the economy would be harmed by continuing work-from-home policies.
Over three-quarters of people believe their mangers will allow them to continue working from home some of the time, according to the research.
According to the latest official figures, the proportion of workers who did at least some work from home in 2020 increased to 37%, up from 27% the previous year. Source BBC.
What does this mean for the millions of square feet of office space in the City of London’s financial district, as well as the cranes in the sky building more shiny office buildings?

The world of business has changed and unless you adapt your business will decline.
What can you do to take advantage of the changes rather than hoping things will go back to ‘normal’ again? They won’t.
The biggest revolution is the explosion in online trading and social media marketing.
Businesses which have adapted have boomed while others are no longer in business.
