ResumeBuilder.com Survey Finds 6 in 10 Workers Believe Return to Office Has Increased Productivity
Workers say going into the office has improved teamwork, motivation, communication and work-life balance
SEATTLE, July 13, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ResumeBuilder.com, the premier resource for professional resume templates and career advice, has published a recent survey report that evaluates the impact of going back to the office on employee productivity. The report also shares insight into how workers feel about increased days in the office. Researchers gathered and analyzed survey responses from 1,500 full-time corporate employees.
According to survey results, 85 percent of workers go into the office at least once a week. Among workers who do not currently work from an office at least once a week, only 16 percent say they would like to. Of this group, 20 percent say they would like 'one day' in the office every week, 49 percent say 'two days,' and 31 percent say 'three or more days.' The main reasons why these workers would prefer more days in the office are to develop closer relationships with their colleagues, get face-to-face time with decision-makers, and improve communication.
Survey data also highlights that, among workers who go into the office at least once a week, 63 percent say they are 'much more' or 'a little bit more' productive. Sixty-one percent of them say they feel more productive due to 'more effective teamwork.' Likewise, 52 percent say going to the office has 'increased motivation,' and 49 percent say it has 'improved communication.' Additional reasons for increased productivity include 'fewer distractions,' 'easier work-life balance,' and 'more energy.'
Conversely, among workers who go into the office at least once a week, 13 percent say they are 'a little bit less' or 'a lot less' productive. The main reasons why they feel less productive include difficult work-life balance, less energy due to commuting, and in-office distractions. Nearly all workers from this group say they would prefer to work more frequently from home, and 76 percent would prefer to work fully remotely. Similarly, even among respondents who reported improved productivity, 60 percent would prefer to work fewer days in the office and 38 percent would prefer to work fully remotely.
This survey was commissioned by ResumeBuilder.com and conducted online by the survey platform Pollfish on June 15, 2023. The survey garnered responses from 1,500 participants in the United States. All respondents had to pass through demographic filters and screening questions to ensure they are currently employed full-time at a corporate job.
