Next most common at 26 per cent, around one in four workers, is to base flexibility around the needs of work. Coming to the office when needed, working quietly at home when that is preferable.

The extremes of mostly remote working are far smaller, with only five per cent working completely at home and four per cent having just one day in the office.
