Office Worker Survey
Understanding how office life is evolving
Working patterns are settling into new rhythms, yet the story of the office is far from written. In the last year we have seen a clearer divide between formal return-to-office mandates and actual attendance behaviour, evolving expectations about flexibility and productivity, and deeper questions about how space supports people and business outcomes.
What the survey reveals.
Our Office Worker Survey studies:
- What motivates office visits - the key factors that shape satisfaction, motivation and productivity in the office.
- Flexibility and demand - how hybrid patterns are influencing space use and long-term leasing strategies.
- The new utilisation picture - what the data says about occupancy trends, collaboration, and design priorities.
- How commuting impacts office attendance - cost pressures and office environment shape attendance
Remit Consulting’s latest Office Worker Survey captures these shifts. It goes beyond headlines to show how workers really use the office, what they value most about in-person time, and what still holds people back from coming in more often. The findings offer practical insight for occupiers, owners and asset managers as they shape workplace strategies in the year ahead.
Why it matters
Office use is no longer experimental. Hybrid work is established, but its form continues to shift. Many organisations have introduced stricter in-office requirements, yet a large share of employees remain cautious about full-time attendance, and flexibility remains a deciding factor in job satisfaction and retention.
Understanding these nuances matters for strategy and space planning. Data from the survey helps you:
- Make decisions based on real usage and worker sentiment, not assumptions
- Align workplace offerings with what people value most
- Adapt space and policies to support productivity, wellbeing and business priorities
