Nearly half of employees feel they need to overcompensate when working from home to show they are serious about their work.
, the social networking site’s survey showed. Some employees said staying home on a Friday allowed them to start their weekends much sooner when they finished their week’s work.
Its local vice president and managing director, Brad Pulford, describes the office as “a hub of creativity and innovation” and argues that “there is no replacement for in-person connection”.Like many technology companies, HP has no set days for office attendance at a company level. But Mr Pulford said staff were asked to come in for big meetings and most managers had introduced one or two days a week when everyone in that team was expected to come in.
HP had also embraced flexible working hours to give staff more control of their daily schedules, he said, and this had led to improved output.“Some people prefer working in the mornings, others must deal with school drop-offs, others love being around their friends at the office, others are working around personal projects, and some may only find the headspace to tackle complex problems at midnight,” Mr Pulford said.
