According to a survey by ABSL and Colliers, 60 percent of companies believe that people cannot be forced to return to the office and that they need to be allowed to decide for themselves where and when they work. Hybrid working will therefore become the norm.
"For example, SAP, based on feedback from its people and positive experiences with the quality of remote work, decided to introduce flexible working conditions and allow employees to choose where and when to work according to their individual needs. More than 80 percent of workers surveyed said they would like to combine working from home and in the office in the future, most often recent graduates and women," gives an example of Appleton.
But is it appropriate to ask about the possibility of working from home during a job interview? "Absolutely. And slovenia phone number data if it is not standard in the company, it is best to negotiate individual conditions before signing the contract, as soon as the employer shows interest in you," says Jiří Halbrštát from ManpowerGroup.
"In IT, job seekers are not afraid to ask about working from home - it is often their request. On the other hand, we often encounter people who actually want to go to the office. Since contact with colleagues is important to them, they also have the opportunity to draw an imaginary line between when they are at home and when they are at work," explains Vojtěch Strnad from the WDF design agency.
"We are happy when people are together and live by the company. But we have always offered home office as an option. Thanks to technology, we are used to all modes. No one closes the door to us because of this. If we want an applicant for his or her abilities and personality, we always find an option," adds Pavel Vyoral from Posta bez hranic.
"I think that most companies today have rules regarding home office set and they are not a secret. On the contrary, I would expect them to discuss them with applicants themselves. I would certainly not be afraid to ask. If it would result in the employer closing the door, then it is good that this happened during the interview, and not after starting," says Marcel Poul from BCV Solutions
