A survey of 1,500 NSW workers during August and September 2020 (2020 Remote Working Survey) and March and April 2021 (2021 Remote Working Survey), commissioned to understand workers' experiences of and attitudes to remote and hybrid working.
To be eligible, respondents had to be employed NSW residents with experience of remote working in their current job. After accounting for unemployed people and those whose jobs cannot be done remotely—for example, dentists, cashiers and cleaners—the sample represents around 59 per cent of NSW workers.
Workers answered questions on:
• their attitudes to remote working
• the amount of time they spent working remotely
• their employers’ policies, practices, and attitudes
• how they spent their time when working remotely
• how barriers to remote working have changed
• the barriers they faced to hybrid working
• their expectations for future remote working
