Only 10 percent did less work at home than in an office.FEATURED STORIESNEWSINFONEWSINFONEWSINFOBut about half also said they ended up working longer hours per day at home than the office.The data varied across industries, with productivity relatively higher in public administration, especially in the health care sector, than in goods-producing industries.Those who were less productive cited a lack of interaction with co-workers as the main reason. An inadequate home office and slow internet were also cited.Once public health restrictions are lifted and normality returns, 80 percent of new teleworkers indicated they’d like to continue working from home even if it’s just on some days.Teachers were the exception, with 54 percent saying they were eager to return to in-person classes.gsgSubscribe to to get access to The Philippine Daily Inquirer &amp; other 70+ titles, share up to 5 gadgets, listen to the news, download as early as 4am &amp; share articles on social media.
