And they do have the data hence the move towards bk to office, unfortunately.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.
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).What do you work at yourself?
Anyones free to seek an office based job. Careful what you wish for though. Some office workers, whether wfh or in office, may like the benefits of working outside but alas not an option. Or the holidays and hours bestowed by other jobs.
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. I'd imagine a lot of others are happy they can get to their job sites with a little less traffic on the roads.
Due to the shortcomings of our education system men with dyslexia traditionally went into construction trades and women with dyslexia went into Hairdressing.

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.I'd imagine a lot of others are happy they can get to their job sites with a little less traffic on the roads.
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.And they do have the data hence the move towards bk to office, unfortunately.
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 officeI consider it a meaningless sop to the lefties/state employees and agree that it is, thankfully, incredibly weak legislation. If offering a hybrid/work from home option attracts the talent that companies need then they will offer it. If you are sufficiently talented then you'll be able to avail of that option. If not you won't. Grand; leave it as it is.

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.Sounds more like a badly managed office.
Can you point to some examples? I can't recall any that suggested WFH was the best thing ever, even for a single section of the workforce.RTE and the general media
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.And they do have the data hence the move towards bk to office, unfortunately.
Care to cite any examples? I have not see any such bias, any discussion is usually showing both sides.RTE and the general media
Quick Google of Rte working from home will give you plenty.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.

Surprised a MNC had not picked up on the terrible low low office productivity before wfh was introduced. Masters of kpi's generally.No, just more distractions, and a concentration of activities that suck people away from their work.

You are the one saying "WFH is presented in this country as the greatest thing since sliced bread". I'm not doing your work for you.Quick Google of Rte working from home will give you plenty.
I dont believe this. Not saying its not true, just that i dont believe it. Unless youre in a bespoke industry?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.
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 worked on a factory floor for nearly 15 years.

I will allow you do it from home ..You are the one saying "WFH is presented in this country as the greatest thing since sliced bread". I'm not doing your work for you.
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.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'?
Nope, simplistic.If I run a company that opposes it I won't invest in Ireland Simple
