Working from home

Workers across London and Scotland have been the least positive when it comes to working from home, according to new research shared with City PM today.

One in four Londoners have said that they have suffered from reduced well-being whilst working from home, while London also had some of the highest numbers of people finding it difficult to create new ideas with a large level of distractions.

The only place in the UK that felt more negatively about working from home is Scotland, according to the Xendpay study. In fact, the survey found that negative sentiments were outweighed the positives in Scotland.

For example, Scots faced more distractions and found themselves being slower at completing their work.

Along with Scotland and London, people in England’s southwest also said they experienced difficulties whole working from home, with 52 per cent of people being dissatisfied.

The West Midlands and Wales, on the other hand, were most positive about working from home, as people in those regions indicated that WFH has given them a balanced life, improvement in well-being and have had few distractions.
