Workers are more willing to change jobs if they have remote work preferences that exceed those they perceive their employers to have,” according to the ECB study.
Employees wanting greater remote work opportunities were more likely to seek fresh employment and actually change jobs, the study said.
The study concluded that about two-thirds of employees want to work from home at least one day per week, with commuting time being the biggest factor influencing a preference to work remotely.
