Remote working is now widely recognised as part of the way businesses operate.
According to a 2019 report by the International Workplace Group, almost two-thirds of companies worldwide have a flexible workspace policy. In Europe, German businesses are the most accepting of flexible working (80% have a flexible working policy), and while those in Belgium are the least accepting, those that allow flexible working are still in the majority (53%). The UK sits somewhere in between, with just over two-thirds of companies (68%) offering flexible working.
