Workers in Canada spend an average of 1.7 days per week working from home, the highest among 34 countries surveyed by Germany’s Ifo Institute between April and May. The global average was 0.9 days. (The Logic)

Talking point: That compares to 1.4 work-from-home days a week for Americans, one day for German employees and 0.4 days for workers in South Korea. Canadian employees want to work from home 2.5 days a week on average, but employers are only willing to allow 1.8 days, the institute found. The survey underscores the challenge for many Canadian firms that are seeking the right post-pandemic work arrangements. As The Logic previously reported, the gap between where managers and employees want to work is contributing to the growing demand for flexible work spaces in Canada.
