In view of the falling incidence figures, there is discussion about relaxing the currently applicable home office requirement. However, more than half of people in Germany (58 percent) are in favor of a strict home office requirement for suitable activities remaining in place until the pandemic is over. Among working people, this figure is slightly higher at 62 percent. This is the result of a representative survey by the digital association Bitkom among 1,005 people in Germany aged 16 and over. The survey was conducted from May 10 to 21. According to the survey, 28 percent of working people answered "yes" - and 34 percent "rather yes" - when asked whether they support a strict home office requirement for suitable activities until the pandemic is over. Overall, 53 percent of working people say that they believe their work is basically suitable for working from home . Almost as many working people (51 percent) would like to continue working fully or partially from nigeria gambling data home after the pandemic. "The Corona crisis has shown that flexible working does not reduce the quality of work results - on the contrary. Working independently of time and place can bring benefits to all sides. Currently, most people are not yet vaccinated. Therefore, as many companies as possible should allow their employees to work from home even after the regulations are relaxed if their job allows it," says Bitkom President Achim Berg.

Due to the tightened home office regulations that were passed in January, the proportion of people who work fully or partially from home during the pandemic has increased significantly again. While this applied to 45 percent of working people at the end of 2020, it was 58 percent at the end of May. In recent months, they have found their employers to be largely open to home office solutions. 62 percent say that their company or business encourages home office work. At 55 percent, employees are also provided with the necessary technology. However, one in three companies (33 percent) also puts pressure on employees not to work from home. 27 percent were denied home office work, even though the work could have been done from home from the employees' point of view. "Many companies have recognized the advantages of home office during the pandemic. In order to further spread home office in Germany, tax incentives could also be set - for employees and for companies. The state should make greater use of its corresponding options. Now, people can continue to avoid contact and thus protect themselves from infection. At the same time, working from home protects the climate, as traffic-related emissions are significantly reduced."
