The study was spurred on by a prominent British advertisement by cleaning product company Dettol, which encouraged employees to use disinfectant thoroughly and listed elements of the in-person work experience that currently-remote employees may miss, some questionable.
YouGov asked 1,608 respondents whether they actually missed the supposed pros of in-office work listed by the advertisement:
- Seeing workers and friends, 66 percent
- Face-to-face meetings, 49 percent
- Office gossip, 38 percent
- Buying lunch out, 31 percent
- The smell of the office, 5 percent
- Office decor (like plastic plants or "those weird carpets," per the Dettol advertisement) , 7 percent
- Hearing an alarm, 4 percent
- Face-to-face meetings, 49 percent
- Buying lunch out, 31 percent
- Sometimes leaving early, 26 percent
- Missing your bosses' jokes, 13 percent
