More than half of UK office workers struggling with rise in demand for face to face meetings
For many this has resulted in an increase in business travel, with 35 percent admitting the frequency of work related travel has steadily increased over the last two years - in fact 66 percent of office workers have travelled up to 50 times for business in the last 12 months.
The research confirms and even exceeds the results of a separate report** which shows business travel is booming, predicting that it will reach its pre-pandemic total of £1 trillion in 2024 and grow to nearly £1.4 trillion by 2027, as many companies resume business operations.
, said:
Whilst in person meetings and business travel are on the rise, virtual meetings persist with 53 percent saying there's also an increase in remote meetings - adding to the difficult balance between the virtual and face to face world.
For 48 percent of office workers this change is accompanied by a feeling of increased pressure to be constantly available, especially on the way to work and during business trips. This perception is significantly more pronounced among younger generations such as Generation Z (50 percent) than among baby boomers (31 percent).
When it comes to productivity on the go, 70 percent of UK office based professionals send emails outside of work, often when commuting or travelling (31 percent).
, continues:
24 percent of UK office based professionals voted for the lack of internet connection as the worst part of trying to work on the go, followed by unplanned wait times and delays (17 percent), as well as noise (16 percent) and overcrowding (12 percent).
