This latest First Look Research survey by Northstar Meetings Group, sponsored by IHG Group, suggests remote working is now a permanent fixture for event professionals, with only six per cent of employers who made the switch to hybrid during the pandemic enforcing a full-time return to the office. In fact, just over one in ten (13%) respondents described themselves as ‘office-based’, against 60 per cent who said they work on a hybrid model (part office/part home), and 26 per cent who work from home (or ‘remotely’) all the time.
Other key findings:
*Most hybrid workers go to the office 2-3 days a week
*Vast majority cite ‘positive impact’ on company culture
*A majority say hybrid working has made them more productive
*Working with teammates main reason for going to office
358 event planners took the survey, 70 per cent from UK/Europe, 20 per cent from the US, and the remainder from the rest of the world.
