Project description
So far, bidt has conducted eight representative short online surveys among adult internet users in Germany at the end of March 2020, in mid-June 2020, at the beginning of February 2021, in May 2021, in September/October 2021 as well as in March, June and October 2022.
In October, the number of home office users rose again compared to the previous survey and is at its highest level to date at 55 %. This represents an increase of 20 percentage points over pre-pandemic use. The current survey shows that the phasing out of the home office obligation has not led to a return to face-to-face work at pre-Corona levels. Rather, home office use has increased again since September/October 2021. Even the highest home office use rates to date during the first compulsory home office, which were recorded in February and May 2021, have been slightly exceeded.
Satisfaction with one’s home office situation was very high at all points in time. In October 2022, the satisfaction values reached the highest level to date. A total of 53% of the employed respondents are very satisfied with their own situation in the home office, another 38% are somewhat satisfied. The lowest level of satisfaction was after the introduction of a compulsory home office in February 2021.
