Tech innovator PixelMax has warned that Britain’s employers face an exodus of talent this year if they do not offer work-from-home options. It comes off the back of a report commissioned by tech recruitment firm Burns Sheehan, which found that working-from-home flexibility was listed by 59% as the number one employee benefit.
Only 4% of employees polled wanted to return to the office full-time, and only 14% wanted to work three to four days in the office. 49% wanted to work in the office one to two days a week, 33% wanted to work fully remotely, and 82% of employees validated the desire for a hybrid and virtual workplace. Â
When polled on the Burns Sheehan employee benefits survey, working-from-home (WFH) came top, above annual bonuses and share options. This was followed by 25% of those polled wanting a learning and development budget, 22% a clearly defined career path, 19% favouring an annual bonus, 17% wanting childcare flexibility and least important, 12% wanting share options.Â
