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.

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