Surely you are tired of hearing that long-distance work will take a long time. But new data from a study show just that.

A new study from 451 Research - a S&P Global Market Intelligence unit - surveyed 575 IT decision-makers from various industries. The study found that 67% of respondents expect homework policies to remain in place permanently or at least for a long period of time.

Companies, including Twitter and Square have already instructed their employees to work from home forever. This policy can have benefits for workers, in companies that work entirely online. They may feel happier in general and may have more freedom in transportation and residence.

As for employees who can return to the office, the return to normal is still far away. The survey found that 20% of respondents said their organizations would continue at least until 2021 with changed working conditions - including distance work, protective clothing and social distancing.

"A return to normalcy in 2019 will not be possible for companies," John Beattie, a Business Insider, said in an earlier statement.

With the strict security measures required to reopen offices, it is logical that companies are not in a hurry to return to normalcy.

The survey found that about 19% of organizations want to bring workers back as soon as possible, 25% plan to wait a month or more - and 24% do not yet have a deadline to return to the premises. work.
