Home office study: Many people commute to work unnecessarily

Germany's largest representative survey on hybrid work reveals that many employees commute to the office at least three times a week, though it is not essential for their productivity. Millions travel to work daily despite home office options in many companies. New data from the Konstanz Home Office Study highlight this issue.

Berlin. A home office researcher states: "Many people commute to work unnecessarily." The Konstanz Home Office Study, Germany's largest of its kind, provides new data on hybrid work models.

Many employees fail to fully utilize home office options and commute to the office at least three times weekly. The study indicates that these trips do not necessarily boost productivity during work hours.

Millions of Germans travel to the office daily, even as companies offer flexible arrangements. The representative survey examines why commuting often remains unnecessary.
