Remote work is ever popular.
One in three workers have never set foot in their office, according to a new survey.

Sigmar Recruitment commissioned the poll and has told the Irish Times having too many staff working remotely full time can lead to issues.
It says there's not enough data on employee welfare and isolation in these situations, as this level of off-site work has never been so common.
Sigmar’s research comprised of interviews with more than 150 human resource managers and business leaders.
It suggested that one year ago employers expected that 22 per cent of staff would be in full-time remote roles by now.
However, the actual number is 44 per cent.
The research also found that 60 per cent of the employers surveyed have recruited from outside Ireland.
And it seems the shortage of talent is leading to higher salaries, as headtopics.com reports.
About 68 per cent of the employers surveyed expected to increase salaries when hiring, on average by up to 8 per cent.
Meanwhile, about 84 per cent of workers expect a pay rise.
