Four out of five employees say they are more productive working from home: survey

Employees say they feel safer to return to the office when staff are vaccinated.

Four out of five employees who are working at home currently say they would feel more productive in their roles because of the work-from-home regime, according to a survey by EngageRocket, in collaboration with the Institute for HR Professionals (IHRP) and the Singapore HR Institute (SHRI).

The survey revealed that 78% of respondents felt more productive working at home this past year, compared to 57% in April, 2020. This is now higher than the 73% of those working in office-based roles who feel productive in their roles.

The survey also found out that 57% of employees now feel safe returning to the workplace, whilst 60.4% of the respondents said they would feel safer to return to work once all their colleagues had been vaccinated against COVID-19.

“One year after the pandemic, new practices and digital technologies offer sustainable opportunities for remote productivity," said CheeTung Leong, CEO and co-founder of EngageRocket. "More employees may return to the workplace from April 5, but may not be ready to return to pre-COVID business-as-usual. The pandemic seems to have shifted mindsets about what is possible and has opened a door to a more sustainable “hybrid way” of working."

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
