Next most common at 26 per cent, around one in four workers, is to base flexibility around the needs of work. Coming to the office when needed, working quietly at home when that is suits the work that needs to be done.
The next two most common are to have just one day working remotely (19 per cent) or two days in the office and three at home (15 per cent).
The extremes of mostly remote working are far smaller, with only five per cent working completely at home and four per cent having just one day in the office.
