58% Of Australians Would Like To Work At Home
- Fifty-eight percent of Australian full-time workers would like to work from home.
- Sixteen percent would take a 5 percent pay cut for having the ability to do so.
According to new research conducted by Citrix Online over fifty percent of Australian full-time workers would like to work from home, with sixteen percent saying they would give up five percent of their pay packet for being able to do so.
The research, commissioned independently and backed by Citrix, showed that 16 percent of Australian full-time workers would give up five percent of their pay packet if given the chance to work remotely, though a whopping sixty percent wouldn’t want their pay packet touched as a result.
The independent research has been released as part of a new report entitled ‘Worldwide Workplace: The Web Commuting Imperative’.
Keep in mind that the research has been backed by a company that creates software that allows you to work remotely.
Is this trend because we are getting lazier as a race?? I believe we would all get fatter, slower and dumber if we all worked from home. Me included, i rekon i wouldn’t workout anymore and would cut corners, tv viewing would increase 10 fold and productivity would be right down.
But hey if i had the chance to work from home id take it! Hypocrytical i know.
I’ll be attempting this in the second half of this year as I move interstate and continue to work for a QLD company.
It’ll be interesting to see the differences in communication and I’m sure we’ll encounter some problems to be solved along the way.
