Ireland’s workforce has transitioned to hybrid working at a greater rate than any other country in the EU. Figures from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) showed the number of people working mainly from home increased by 173pc between 2016 and 2022, from 94,955 workers to 259,467.
In addition, the latest CSO Census findings also show nearly a third of Ireland’s workforce, or around 750,000 employees, worked from home at least one day a week.
