Home office use in Germany: A slight decline since 2021

📰 Home office use stays strong in Germany – despite a slight decline since 2021    📊 According to the latest #Microcensus 2024, 22.7% of employees worked from home at least once over four weeks – only 0.7% less than the peak of 2021!   Although the percentage has dropped slightly on average since the later days of the pandemic in 2021, remote work appears to be well-nested in most German States, where this new form of work impacts all aspects of life on a daily basis, and it is growing in Eastern Germany.   #Bavaria (#Bayern) recorded a home office rate of 24.5%, compared to 35.6% in the city/state of #Hamburg or 10.9% in Sachsen-Anhalt.   🇩🇪 The German Case Study of #WinWin4WorkLife delves deeper into the matter of remote work in the state of Bavaria, focusing on the #Munich Metropolitan Area. This area, including cities like #Augsburg, #Ingolstadt, #Landshut and #Rosenheim, is known for its thriving industries attracting top-notch talent and highly skilled workers. But there is a catch – it is also one of Germany’s priciest places to rent a new home.   This led to a city-flight to the #suburbs and neighboring regions, where many workers found cheaper housing. But it also means an increase in daily commute, with overcrowded trains and more emissions as a result. Could remote work be the answer here?   The German Case Study intends to map this impact and is well underway, with the Employer study finished and the Employee study starting soon.
