In 2023, the number of Poles who usually worked at home decreased to nearly nine percent of all employed persons.
Advantages and disadvantages of remote work
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has brought Poles into a completely different reality. Many of them had to reorganize their private and professional lives from one day to the next. For Poles, the main advantages of working from home Poles were more flexible working hours, time savings associated with commuting to work, and savings on expenses such as fuel and food. On the other hand, working from home also brings disadvantages, such as problems with self-discipline and distraction by household members. Despite the many advantages of working from home, Poles would like to return to work in offices after lifting coronavirus restrictions, with the possibility of partial remote working.
Home office implemented by companies
Companies with many employees were more likely to switch to remote working. This is related to the prevailing restrictions and predetermined rules on the number of employees working in the office. Large companies have also prepared the infrastructure, which allowed access to solutions (e.g., cloud platforms) that enable efficient and effective work at home. The industries which most frequently switched to home office were education and public administration. In 2020, the largest group of people aged 25 to 44 worked remotely in Poland.
