Why younger workers might prefer working in the office than WFH


By AGENCY

Remote working for younger workers means having less contact with colleagues and managers, which could be destabilising, particularly because in their first professional roles, young workers are keen to experience office life and to get onboard with company culture. Photo: AFP

Between working from home and working in the office, for younger workers, it seems that the office wins. According to several studies, the youngest members of the workforce appear to be less disposed to working from home for reasons of productivity and workplace culture. Their more experienced colleagues, on the other hand, opt for remote working.

With home working a new norm for many for the best part of a year, and more hybrid models emerging for sharing time between office and home, when it comes to where the job gets done, preferences and needs are starting to emerge in line with workers’ age categories.
