crucial than ever in today’s world. As offices continue to work remotely and adoption of hybrid working solutions increases, there’s a growing demand for products and services that help productivity and allow blended teams to communicate effectively and stay as close-knit as they were before the pandemic,” says Frank Weishaupt, CEO of Owl Labs.


Companies will need to be agile and open to employee suggestions when navigating this changing working land- scape and changing expectations of working life. However, there are oppor- tunities for nimble companies who can move fast to recruit the best talent re- gardless of location, to cut operational costs with smaller offices, and have a loyal workforce by offering flexible hy- brid working to better fit in with em- ployees’ work-life balance,” continues Weishaupt. With the shift in working practises, it shouldn’t surprise employers that


there has also been a shift in em- ployee expectations when it comes to what employers should be providing to their staff, both at home and in office. Three-quarters of employees (74%) believe their company should pay for, or provide, office technology equip- ment (including laptops, printers, and extra screens) when they work from home, with half (50%) believing they should provide office furniture (in- cluding desks and ergonomic chairs). Whilst some companies may already be exploring this home hardware sup- port, half of employees believe their companies should contribute to Wi- Fi and phone bills, and 48% to elec- tricity bills when working from home, something not regularly supported by companies.


When workers do eventually return to the office, or for those who are cur- rently unable to work from home, 62% of workers believe their employers should provide free COVID-19 tests,


with 65% saying free PPE (such as masks, gloves, and antibacterial gel and wipes) should be provided as stan- dard.


Whilst the shift to increased working from home provides workers with more flexibility and freedom, employers con- cerned about their workers’ productivi- ty should think carefully before intro- ducing remote monitoring technology. When working from home, 61% of employees would be concerned if their company bought in remote activity and productivity monitoring, with over a third (36%) saying they’d be likely to resign if so. Almost three-quarters (72%) were concerned about the use of video tracking, 61% with attention tracking apps, 60% were concerned about keyboard tracking apps, and over half (52%) if their employer were to monitor time spent on certain apps or websites.
