More than half of UK workers would consider quitting their job if hybrid working was axed, research reveals
More than half (51%) of UK workers who currently have the choice to mix remote and office working would consider leaving their company if this hybrid option was removed, according to new research by Microsoft in conjunction with YouGov, with fieldwork undertaken between October 7 and 15, 2021.
For many employees, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed hybrid working from “nice to have” to “must-have”. More than half (59%) of HR decision makers (HRDMs) surveyed agree hybrid working has had a positive effect on the mental wellbeing of their workforce.
The findings come in the wake of recent data from the Office for National Statistics that revealed resignations and job-to-job moves in the UK are at their highest level in two decades. The result is what experts are calling “the great resignation”, with many workers changing roles and companies as they re-evaluate their views on life, work and how to balance them.
