The so-called home office suits many employees. For example, they do not have to commute to their place of employment for a long time. “If I evaluate it, a person from home will do more work than in the office. The best combination comes to me, which means that the company allows me to be both at home and in the office, “said Sodexo Benefity employee Jakub Mačát, who has been working from home for more than a year.
“We believe that when people have freedom, they achieve the best results. And that’s what matters. So it doesn’t really matter if they work from home, office or cafe, “thinks the company’s director Martina Machová.
Do people do more work at home or in the office?
However, the prevailing opinion among Czech companies is that people are more productive in the workplace. According to a survey with a home office, eighty percent of the companies contacted no longer count, about fourteen percent of employers want to allow a combination, mostly only two percent of companies still prefer to work from home.
“Employers are afraid that they will not have employees under control, that they will not be able to measure their work performance well, many managers are obviously afraid that if they do not see these people every day, they will hang out somewhere,” said Manpower Group CEO Jaroslava Rezler.

According to some companies, employees are losing their work habits
One third of Geis employees also worked from home during the pandemic. Management has now decided to close the home office. “It is important for us that even employees from the administration are in daily contact with the operation. For optimal running and solving some situations, it is necessary for employees to have the opportunity to meet each other, “described the company’s manager Jaroslava Šindelářová.
The Náchod company Atas elektromotory has a similar opinion on working from home. He talks, for example, about the loss of work habits or social deprivation. “In any case, it is not possible to talk about maintaining at least the level of labor productivity, on the contrary,” said the chairman of the company’s board of directors, Otto Daněk.
