The study revealed ideally Britons want to stay away more – 2.3 days on average.

Two in three employees said avoiding commuting was the biggest benefit, followed by fuel savings and lunch.

Nearly three-quarters said socializing is the main attraction of the office, followed by collaboration, and there is a difference between work and home.
