50% workforce likely to return to offices: Study

November 01, 2021 13:51

Both employees and employers are equally interested in making a comeback to the workplace in a hybrid setup with 50 per cent of the workforce likely to return to offices for up to 3 days a week starting next year, according to a report by Nasscom and Indeed.

Junior and senior management, workforce under the age of 25 and above 40 years, are eager to return to the workplace as compared to the middle management.

Female employees are also excited about returning to offices and adapting to newer working models, as per the 'NASSCOM Return to Workplace Survey'.

The report was developed on the basis of return to workplace surveys conducted by the IT industry body, focused on both tech employees and tech employers on their plans on return to offices.

The report aimed to understand the expectations, key considerations, and preparedness on both fronts (employers and employees) for return to the workplace and further analyse different future operating models emerging in a hybrid setup.

The survey stated that though over 81 per cent of organisations expressed that employee health and safety remains the key consideration for them while reopening the offices, 72 per cent of organisations said they are looking at operating at a maximum of 50 per cent employee capacity starting next year itself.
