Three-quarters (75%) of UK office workers said that they would accept – or have accepted – a pay cut in return for a fully remote role that allows them to work-from-anywhere, according to new research from Citrix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new data, based on a survey of 1,000 UK office workers and conducted by OnePoll, examined employee attitudes towards the future of work as we begin 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The poll found that, on average, respondents would be willing to take a 14% pay cut in order to secure remote working in their role. Based on the current average UK salary of \u00a330,472, this would represent a gross reduction of around \u00a34,266 per annum on average per worker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over a quarter (27%) of workers would accept a pay cut of between 15-20%, with a similar number (26%) prepared to accept a pay cut of over 20% for the fully remote working benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re now in a world where employees have seen the potential that remote working holds to improve their work\/life balance \u2013 so much so that they\u2019re willing to forgo a significant portion of their salaries to achieve this on a permanent basis,\u201d said Darren Fields, Regional Vice President, UK & Ireland, Citrix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those aged between 45 and 54 were prepared to take the largest salary sacrifice, averaging 16% – or \u00a34,887 gross salary, based on the national average income.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
