UK developer Bossa Studios is shifting its work structure following lockdown measures, now allowing permanent remote working.
As of now, Bossa employees can either work from home, the London office or a mix of locations "as best suits their working preferences and personal needs."
The company made the changes based on the results of a staff survey that shows 78% of employees either preferred working from home or were neutral on the prospect of working in an office.
The lack of a commute, more flexible hours, and spending more time with family were cited as major benefits, while 43% of staff claim they are more productive.
By comparison, 11% feel less productive, and some prefer the use of an office for their mental health.
Bossa has gradually re-opened the office for these employees, adjusting it to ensure socially-distanced workspaces and making personal protective equipment available to those who come to work there.
Elsewhere in the survey, 82% of management staff believed remote meetings were easier to run, with no discernible disadvantage over in-person meetings.
