Since the pandemic, working from home has become more common. According to 2025 data, around 20% of employees in the euro area have a hybrid working pattern, i.e. they work from home between two and four days per week. Although a substantial share of workers (44%) work from home at least one day per week, most workers would not be willing to accept a pay cut in exchange for hybrid working possibilities. However, those employees who value being able to work from home would be willing to forgo up to 8.7% of their wages for this option. This suggests that remote working flexibility can play a role in attracting and retaining workers, especially when labour markets are tight.
