Almost a third are employed by Italians who work remotely and, of these, 60.8 percent do so for at least three days a week. A new modality at the center of "Remote work: implementation methods, tools and the workers' point of view", a study carried out by INAP, the National Institute for Public Policy Analysis, which refers to period between March and July of last year according to which 7.2 million workers are employed remotely at least one day a week with the majority (54.7%) who judge this situation positively.
Not only that: it emerged that almost 46% of respondents would like to continue to carry out their business in an agile way at least one day and 24% three or more days a week. 54.2% would never want to work remotely.
Among the conclusions of the report, the fact that in order to stay and work from home, one in five employees would accept a possible reduction in salary, a sign that - explains INAPP, “a hypothetical improvement in the quality of life presents an immediate economic value discountable".
Smart workers tripled in number compared to before the coronavirus pandemic when 2.4 million workers were also occasionally employed remotely. But the number has decreased compared to the first months of the emergency when they were 9 million.
Another significant impact concerns the 191,046 reports of contagion occurring in the workplace up to December 2021 and 811 deaths due to the infection acquired while working. The absence of the infected worker is on average one month.
Deaths from Covid at work are 0.6% of the total deaths from the infection while infections at work are 3.1% of national infections.
The study, which is based on a sample of over 45 thousand interviews, highlighted how, looking at the distribution of remote days worked in 2021, it can be observed, for example, that 49.7% were engaged in agile mode from 3 to 5 days, 11.1% for more than 5 days a week and only 11.6% for a single day. The opinion on remote work, according to the research, is overall positive for the majority of respondents (54.7%) but 63.9% believe that it generates isolation and about 60% that it does not help in relationships with colleagues.
