The working landscape in 2020 has shifted on a global scale like we’ve never seen before.
As the COVID-19 situation continues to unfold, many employees are learning to adapt to dramatically different ways of working.
To get a better understanding of what these changes look like for workers in Australia, we conducted a survey to find out how different workers nationwide have been affected by the global pandemic. We surveyed over 1,000 workers around Australia from 22 March – 8 April 2020 and asked them one question: With the unfolding COVID-19 situation, do you feel adequately prepared to work from home?
We discovered four key findings:
1. Only 55% of the workers we surveyed planned to work from home.
2. Of these only 1 in 3 (33%) were fully prepared to work from home, just over half (55%) were only somewhat prepared, 1 in 10 (12%) were not prepared at all.
3. Only 25% of those we surveyed said they would continue to work on-site.
4. Another 20% said they were unable to work from home.
This new research reveals that while working from home may be commonplace among office workers, a significant number of employees around Australia still planned to continue working on-site or had no choice due to the nature of their work.
We discovered that workers in the Care industry were the least prepared to work from home due to the nature of their work. As a result, the highest number of employees that continue to work on-site today are those in Care. We’ve identified that our extensive range of products can help safeguard on-site workers during this unprecedented time.
