A lot of people are preferring working from home.

83 per-cent of people want to continue to work remotely after the Covid-19 Crisis, new research has found.

The survey, conducted by a team at NUI Galway and the Western Development Commission, questioned over 7-thousand-people online across a range of industries shows shows over half of those surveyed had never worked remotely before the pandemic.

It found the top three challenges facing workers at home - included not being able to switch off from work, harder to communicate with colleagues and poor physical workspace.

However, some benefits to working at home included no traffic and no commute, reduced costs and greater flexibility.
