How is the COVID-19 accidental experiment around working from home changing the way the UK will work after lockdown?

这项研究旨在支持经济从COVID-19危机中复苏，提供有关在家工作（WfH）的及时，可操作的见解和建议，以及危机驱动的适应对长期组织实践和政策的影响。该项目涉及三个研究问题：（1）大流行如何影响英国的不同部门;（2）WfH的长期影响;以及（3）哪些新行为和工作实践将保留，哪些应该鼓励？一个活跃在封锁期间与WfH相关研究的跨机构专家团队将采用混合方法，使用在线调查，组织案例研究和国家数据集的二次分析。该研究将探讨雇主的行动，实践和战略决策，以及员工的经验和WfH在封锁期间及其后果的结果。以专业服务和公共管理为重点，纵向视角将勾勒和背景化这些行业的复苏过程，选择这些行业是因为它们的商业模式、前线疫情应对以及在危机驱动的白领工人大规模迁移到完全在家工作之前的WfH水平。

This research is designed to support economic recovery from the COVID-19 crisis, providing timely, actionable insight and recommendations about Working from Home (WfH), and the implications of crisis-driven adaptations for longer-term organisational practice and policy. This project engages with three research questions: (1) how the pandemic has influenced different sectors in the UK; (2) the longer-term implications of WfH; and (3) which new behaviours and working practices will remain and which should be encouraged?A team of cross-institutional experts active in research related to WfH during lockdown, will employ a mixed-methods approach using an online survey, organisational case studies, and secondary analysis of national datasets. The research will explore both employer actions, practices and strategic decision-making, and employee experiences and outcomes of WfH during lockdown and its aftermath. Focusing on Professional Services and Public Administration, a longitudinal perspective will contour and contextualise the recovery process in these sectors, selected for their contrasting business models, frontline pandemic response, and levels of WfH prior to the crisis-driven mass migration of white-collar workers into roles performed entirely from home.
