Because we want our employees to be happy, we carried out a survey recently, to find out which working patterns are really most popular. In general, our staff prefer to work at the office. In fact, nearly half come in during regular office hours you know, from 9.00 to 5.00. Anyway, we also asked about part-time work, working from home and another option [pause]
job sharing. Job sharing is a kind of part-time work, where two people share the responsibilities for one full time job. Anyway, we found that only 5% of our staff wanted to share a job. So, it's not very popular, on the whole. But when it comes to working part-time, we were surprised to find that 27% of our employees would actually prefer it. That‘s a very high number, really over a quarter of the staff And then it was interesting to see that quite a lot of our staff - 20% in fact, would like to work from home. |
