Employees working from home (WFH) for certain periods of time has become a common reality. Here are three things you may not have known about WFH:
- In Hong Kong, there is no statutory right to work from home so contractual arrangements and WFH policies are important
- WFH is increasingly an incentive and expectation for potential new hires (more than 90% of office workers want more flexibility in where and when they do their job according to EY’s 2021 Work Reimagined Employee Survey)
- Employers have a duty to create a safe working environment for their staff under Hong Kong law which would include any permitted WFH.
