Summary: Work from Home Preferences in Romania
Key Findings
According to employees, 44% of jobs in Romania don't require daily physical presence at the workplace.
Currently, two-thirds of these jobs have already transitioned to hybrid or fully remote work (28% out of 44%).
Two-thirds of those who believe they could work fully remotely already do so (8% of the total population compared to 12%).
The potential for hybrid work is higher, with the number of jobs theoretically doubling from 15% of the active population to 32%.
The percentage of those who have transitioned to remote work is three times higher in private companies than in state-owned companies/institutions.
10% of fully remote workers believe they should work hybrid, while 5% of hybrid workers believe they should work solely from the office.
Additional Information
The data is based on a study conducted by Frappe Digital in June 2024 among 856 employed individuals in urban areas.
The study suggests a strong preference for remote and hybrid work arrangements among Romanian employees.
There is a significant gap between the perceived potential for remote work and the actual implementation of these arrangements.
Implications
Businesses should consider offering more flexible work options, such as remote and hybrid work, to attract and retain talent.
Governments should support policies that enable remote and hybrid work, such as providing infrastructure and promoting digital literacy.
Educational institutions should prepare students for the changing nature of work, including the skills and competencies needed for remote and hybrid work environments.
Key Takeaways
Remote and hybrid work are increasingly popular among Romanian employees.
There is a need for greater adoption of these work arrangements to align with employee preferences.
Stakeholders should collaborate to create an ecosystem that supports remote and hybrid work effectively.
