WFH legislation

Good management will know this, productivity is measurable and at this stage companies should have all the data they need to establish what works best.
And they do have the data hence the move towards bk to office, unfortunately.
 
I worked on a factory floor for nearly 15 years. I've worked in an office for longer. Working in an office is easier. My job can't be done remotely and due to the collaborative nature of the work we do neither can anyone else's here. Because of that we don't allow remote working (though just about everyone will answer their phone out of hours).
 
Not at all. Same would apply to a doctor. But the way WFH is presented in this country as the greatest thing since sliced bread is offensive .
 
Do you think brick layers are just brick layers because they couldn't get an office job? I know a couple and they can't stand the thoughts of working in that kind of environment.
Due to the shortcomings of our education system men with dyslexia traditionally went into construction trades and women with dyslexia went into Hairdressing. There are lots of reasons why people men become bricklayers etc and a dislike of the idea of working in an office probably doesn't feature highly on the list.
I'd imagine a lot of others are happy they can get to their job sites with a little less traffic on the roads.
I do like my Friday commute when the traffic is light due to so many people taking the day off, I mean working from home.

Ours shows the opposite, particularly so for certain roles where output plummets when in the office. Most of the studies report greater productivity with hybrid working.
 
Exactly that's it essentially, also when the government were very enthusiastic about it was back in 2021 when they were trying to keep lockdowns in place. They never looked that far into the future it was just go along with what tony holohan wanted. I think the regional independents brought it up in their negotiations, to get public servants back into the office

Sounds more like a badly managed office.

No, just more distractions, and a concentration of activities that suck people away from their work. Some of that of course is important, such as time spent getting to know new people or partake in charity activity. The data shows that overall people are more productive than they were pre-pandemic, even those working 75% remote.

The data driving the move back to the office is primarily the monthly rent bill. Any suggestion regarding productivity is largely selective to push a narrative to get back to the office.

RTE and the general media
Care to cite any examples? I have not see any such bias, any discussion is usually showing both sides.

Quick Google of Rte working from home will give you plenty.
 
Surprised a MNC had not picked up on the terrible low low office productivity before wfh was introduced. Masters of kpi's generally.

I dont believe this. Not saying its not true, just that i dont believe it. Unless youre in a bespoke industry?

Human nature itself would suggest that more work will be done when in office with colleagues and under the prying eye of management as well as colleagues. In general, at least. Will always be some that work better alone at home and may find office distracting etc.

As mentioned i wfh and i really appreciate it and i think i work well from home but i have seen colleagues that have very little output when wfh then when office theyve their heads down and actually produce output.
 
And out of curioisity, if I may - are your office hours standard i.e 9 to 5ish and you are required to be in the office working those approx 40 hours per week or can you do a few hours in office to get your work done then tip home and be on 'stand by'?
 
I travel a bit for work and I deal with customers in The USA but I also deal with day to day stuff in the plant so the hours are irregular but not from home. I check mails and spend 30 minutes or so replying at around 6am and an usually in work before 8. I only work around 45 hours a week and rarely have to work weekends so it's easy enough.
 
If I run a company that opposes it I won't invest in Ireland Simple
Nope, simplistic.

What is in the WFH legislation that would cause concern to an American multi-national?
