Hyderabad: Work from home has become the norm and majority prefers this model even as many office spaces are looking to starting full-time.

A study by Ivanti on Future of Work highlights that about 71 per cent of employees are choosing to work from anywhere over being promoted. However, the report also pointed out that remote work has taken a toll of the mental health of employees – more so among women.

About 70 per cent of IT women respondents reported experiencing negative effects from remote work, versus only 30 per cent of male counterparts. Additionally, many employees are feeling the effects of losing personal connection with coworkers (9 per cent) and being expected to work longer hours than when in the office (6 per cent).

The report also showed the further gender divide with almost 56 per cent of female respondents said remote work has affected their mental health negatively, compared to 44 per cent of men.

“Ivanti’s research shows that the remote work experience for both office workers and IT professionals varies across gender lines. More men than women report being passed over for a promotion. Women, however, are expected to work longer hours, but have benefitted the most overall from the flexibility that remote work brings. This shift in employee experience cannot be ignored,” said Meghan Biro founder and CEO of TalentCulture.
