Ireland made the biggest jump to remote working

In 2019, just 7% of Ireland’s workforce said they “usually” work from home. But this had surged to 25% in 2022, the highest increase of any country, in the wake of the covid-19 pandemic.

Ireland has adapted to remote working at a greater pace than anywhere else in Europe with three times as many people working from home last year compared to 2019, new analysis suggests.

BNP Paribas Real Estate Ireland said that its analysis of Eurostat data shows Ireland coming out on top when it comes to its workforce adopting remote working along with Malta, the Netherlands, Germany and France.
