The future of jobs: work from home, the office, or both?

We look at the future of the workplace, the power struggle between bosses and workers, and why job unhappiness is so high.

The COVID pandemic pushed companies around the world into an unplanned experiment with remote work to keep businesses running after strict security measures were imposed.

Now that employees have realized that working from home is possible, many are reluctant to return to the office, or at least not full time.

Globally, about a quarter of workers would quit or start looking for another job if asked to return five days a week, according to research. Many would like to have flexible work hours or a shorter work week.

We speak to Adrian Wright, Director of the Institute for Research on Organisations, Work and Employment (iROWE) and Anthony Lepinteur, Research Scientist at the University of Luxembourg.
