85% of employees currently working from home in the UK want a hybrid approach of both home and office working in future. The popularity of the trend is growing, and people are now looking at those companies that provide such freedom.
A good example of it can be Airbnb. Recently, the company released the most flexible working scheme called ‘Live and work anywhere.’ It allows its employees to work from any place they wish with no changes to their compensation rate. Surprisingly, when the news went live, almost 1 million users across the globe visited Airbnb’s ‘Career’ page in hopes of finding a suitable position for themselves.
