A third of employees in IT companies, marketing agencies and small and medium-sized businesses would like to continue working outside the office even after the coronary virus pandemic, new research by Startit revealed.

In a survey conducted on Twitter, 18.5 percent of people responded that they feel lonely working from home because they miss their colleagues.

The results confirmed that employees want to choose places to work themselves, and the new trend is that 6.1 percent of respondents are ready to move from large cities to the interior and to the countryside, from where they will work remotely.

The new results show that 55.7 percent of those surveyed want to choose whether to work in the office or from home. Respondents rated the experience of working outside the office a high score of 4.05, with only every ninth unwilling to continue working outside the office after the pandemic.

The survey also revealed that even before Covid-19, 26 to 30 percent of those surveyed worked from home at least one day a week in large cities.

Including smaller places, the five days a week from home before Covid worked 12.1 percent of those surveyed, and then that number increased sevenfold during the pandemic.

More than half of the respondents responded that they received the motivation and support necessary for the job, and 64.1 percent responded that they received the equipment.

Respondents consider working remotely primarily to save time on the way to work, with the highest percentage citing better concentration and focus, as well as flexibility, as an advantage. The biggest problem they faced is loneliness, and then the fact that they feel like they don’t have limited work hours when working from home.

The employees’ impression is that the amount of work they have to do from home has not changed much in relation to office work: 82.3 percent think they work similarly or the same today, as before pandemic.

In the Startit survey, 53 percent were male and 64 percent of the respondents live and work in Belgrade. The majority of those surveyed, 70 percent, are between the ages of 25 and 40, while 30 percent work in IT companies.
