60 pc UAE workers skip office to work elsewhere
More than half of UAE employees work remotely every week, and over 50 per cent do so for at least half of the week, heralding a major reassessment of the corporate real estate, according to a new study by International Workplace Group (IWG), the parent group of leading workspace companies including Regus.
The UAE study was part of a comprehensive global study based on the insights of over 18,000 business people across 96 companies.
It found that every week 60per cent of the UAE employees are working at least one day a week somewhere other than the office.
More than half (52per cent) work remotely for half of the week or more, whilst one in 10 (10per cent) people work outside of their company’s main office location five times a week.
Globally, the results reflected a similar trend in the workforce with every week 70per cent of employees are working at least one day a week somewhere other than the office.
According to the study, the emergence of this mobile workforce has been driven by technological change, globalisation and changes in employee expectations.
