The Five-day Work Week Is No Longer in Use. WFH Isn’t Going Away

Both employees and managers found working from home during the pandemic was positive for performance and well-being, a report by the OECD found.

Both employees and managers found working from home during the pandemic was positive for performance and well-being, a report by the OECD found. The proportion of staff teleworking at least one day a week is expected to be much higher than before the pandemic.

A separate study by OECD researchers of job postings on the website Indeed found that the substantial increase in advertised telework in Covid lockdowns was only reversed modestly when the restrictions were eased.

“These results suggest that telework is here to stay, especially in countries with high levels of digital preparedness,” researchers said.

A fundamental and lasting shift toward teleworking would have significant implications for the structure of economies, from productivity to worker rights and childcare provision.
