nuclear, this being on that front team, the golden ticket, the electoral victory? can americans agree on any immigration policy? is there a middle ground between 0 tolerance and open border? the quizzical look us pollutants, the bottom line with hello, i'm money inside. this is counting the cost on al jazeera, your weekly look at the welding business. economics. this week, working from home office or a mixture of bosses and walk is differ of the future of what place is remote working here to stay and all companies ready to make that shift. also this week,

employees are trying to turn the tables and take that power back at work, but the global economy faces, oblique outlooks, the could the balance shift to words, employers, global employee management and well being were rising for nearly a decade. but now they are stagnant, so what is driving unhappiness at work and what makes an ideal working environment? ah, the pandemic push companies worldwide into an unplanned experiment of remote working to keep businesses going off to strict safety meshes were imposed. now that employees realize that working from home as possible, many are reluctant to go back to the office or at least not full time. around one quarter, if work is globally, would quit or start looking for another job if they were told to return to the workplace 5 days a week. that's according to a survey by group of economists. the study also says work is would take

a 5 percent pay cut to keep the option of working from home employees and countries where commute saw a long prefer the remote working option in india. in china, for example, commute times average more than 90 minutes. almost double the length of us work is women who are more likely to be primary caregivers for children or other family members. valley working from home much more than men. another survey by microsoft shows that bosses on work is disagree about productivity when working from home, well, 87 percent of workers felt they worked as or more efficiently from home. 80 percent of manages disagreed. we've done our own little survey in the united states and turkey. let's listen to what work is there had to say. i think just in general, the topic of working remotely is really important in our culture right now because

a lot of people need flexibility to raise their children and to have healthy families. so i love the shift that's happened. and i also really like what i do, which is very one on one of course, but having flexibility, it's been critical to the stage of my life and being able to be a single mom. flexibility of working at home is great because you can play around with your time, but, but i really miss the other. the other part. so i, you know, i guess at this point i would have to be sort of a mix. but i wish it would be like 3 days in the office or maybe 2 out. i personally don't have any pressure to go back and i think it's been really beneficial to me. i think a lot of people feel that way. you know, i'm fortunate to be able to work from home and it's given my life like a bit of a better, a better boost in some ways because it's a lot easier to work. life balance is a lot easier to deal with where you're from home. yeah, i think the office is more comfortable. my house is close to my work, so it's not an issue. the working environment is important for work quality,

even if your salary is adequate, you will be unable to perform well if you're working conditions are deplorable. jose i prefer working from home because i'm constantly on the computer. all of our meetings and discussions with colleagues and managers take place on line. i don't believe face to face work is necessary, at least not for a long time. it's not. it's not just about the workplace. workers are also demanding flexible working hours. a short work week is now being explored as the future of employee productivity. the 9 to 5 work day used to be a standard for all employees. now many countries like belgium, the united kingdom, iceland am sweden, are experimenting the 4 day work schedule. employees would work 4 days a week while getting paid the same, doing the same benefits, but with the same workload. joining me now from preston in the united kingdom,

as adrian writes, he is the director of the institute for research and organizations work employment at the lancaster, school of business and enterprise. thank you for joining the program. what do you think the biggest or more surprising trends you've noticed in the world of work since the pandemic started? i think the most important and meaningful change in the world of what is the difference in terms of why people work and how people are working. i think since they, upon very obviously remote working and hybrid working has that has grown significantly where people are choosing to work in different ways of them remotely or more often in a hybrid working environment where people are choosing to pop from home. and also pop from the office, but i think also real big change in the way people are working a lot people, one from work is to prioritize health and wellbeing and flexibility in the

workplace. so that might be working different types of ours to see and personal circumstances and really thinking casserly about excuse. so she's been out stress and mental health and wellbeing working from home. and as you say, clearly has become popular with workers. but not all employee surely do want to work from home, do they? i mean, personally, i know i prefer that boundary between my work life and my home life. so of course, and obviously different employees have different standards as well. it's really, really important in the world of work much really important for employers is to think about backing up aaron chloe and also work environments and work conditions that those personal circumstances and with the panoramic and returning to work. after that time. demi it was a lot more flexibility and people would like and to work much more on their own

terms. so it's about patient offering that source of flexibility to personal circumstances. always thing the shift. so as working from home across all sexes or does it tend to be more white collar workers? well obviously, depending on the fact, it does depend on how and possible working from home a professional factors affected the baseball can be space. coast people can work at home and more than say in retail. ringback hospitality and those types but i think also what we're seeing is that changing modeling sensitive businesses and what they're offering, what that digital infrastructure is becoming in place where organizations are offering different options and not just working from home or working in the office, but also the actual home environment, people can come to work in different places at different times. yeah, that's an interesting point that's as technology improves that is clearly becoming

more and more of a thing. i mean, tell us a bit more about it. so what we're seeing in price upon damage to assess the next step posts on time, it gives the rise in digital interest. so why rogan nations and using digital technology to connect employees in different ways and in a physical contact. these are things like work and spaces which is seen as dramatic rise over the past 5 to 10 years, but certainly takes time. damn it. but also organizations and large organizations, thinking about physical proximity in a different way. and for example, having office hopes in different fifties where employees can connect to where moving employees from what with one physical, one, office workspace to of variety of different approaches in order to meet the different needs to employees and stay flexible. what talked a lot about what employees want, what is it the employer wants? are they resisting?

especially now that the pandemic is over. the whole working from home concept things working from home requires employees to have a different mindset. it requires trust and to a certain extent, it requires a release of control and how traditional work was done within organizations and a different style of management. so that buses and employees really need to think about how they can be flexible and change their approach to management aid in order to get the most out of the workforce. but crucially, also provide the workforce and with the right thing, by the way, because we've seen individuals and employees and really considering that place in work and what they want from work and employees have to with that, what about the notion of the 9 to 5 work day or the 5 day week. is that going to become a thing of the past? i mean, i know we have some countries or experimenting on the for a week. yeah. so i mean companies really looking at modernizing,

how we're working and we need some nice work and i think we need to look inside the job rather than focusing on conventional ways. that's how we understand work and how we understand the traditional working week. you mentioned companies such as uni leave with demonstrated that they can meet business tockets alongside dropped enough to them and stress and help in terms of that work life balance as well to receive strong evidence from companies like uni labor but also companies across the world. and suggesting it's really countering, to suggest that longer working out can increase productivity. it doesn't seem to be like we've also seen a more e commerce on the rise social media has created a new world of jobs like influences and so on. what does that mean in terms of the future of the workplace, the future of jobs? well, school change always implement craze in the nature of work. and what we're seeing

at the moment is into the rec, down since the labor markets in the market to have to adapt and with in fluids. for example, what's really interesting in there is we're seeing a kind of a workplace in the intersection between white work and what leisure time and more broadly, it's another example of profile. yeah, i want to pinocchio create forms that really and embrace that digital workplace context and think about social attitudes, changing towards work. and so i expect obviously be felt the things to be on the rise companies using influences more and more and embracing influence in their marketing budget. so these types of work isn't coming away and it's how we have that. so organizations deal with adrian, stay with us, i'm going to come back to you in a 2nd. while some companies have accommodated the remote work option. many others have dug in the heels, but with a shrinking jamal cat,

in some countries on the changing world of work, many young employees are rethinking how they want their careers to fit into their lives. they're demanding will pay better working conditions and they're willing to walk away if their demands on not met. employees let the workforce in record numbers in the united states in europe and asia, leaving millions of positions unfilled. last year, the trend was dubbed the great resignation. another phenomena that was on the rise is quite quitting. the term describes workers who only do the job that they're being paid to do. just meeting that job description without taking on any extra duties in order to focus on time spent outside the office. and an unprecedented number of people have changed jobs since the start of the pandemic in wants being dumped the great re shuffle. so adrian young employees as we were hearing that known as generations, the all the main driving force behind the new workplace trends. why did they feel

particularly more empowered than employees of the past? who, of course, the main, we've got really strong labor markets and a really strong position for, for young workers in many ways. genocide is different. they probably face to face communication, that's tech savvy, but you see diversity is the norm and really have a focus on the road, mental health and wellbeing and but also alongside that, right? so we won't good pay and good prospects and organizations have to react to their staff to prioritize and the desires of these types of workers in order to be competitive in the labor market. offer flexible work, clear development pathways and those sorts of things like that. in the power struggle between employers and workers who currently has the upper hand, who currently industry relations is a really interesting area for examination guy and you k really high profile example

. work is fighting back whether it be intend to industrial action such as the royal mail or train stripe barracks in the been involved in industrial dispute. but alongside that, what we've got all the things that you mentioned before, the quiet quick thing and the great resignation. and people are really thinking casually about that job roles and instruction day was work. and all of these things highlights the type of resistance in the changing rhetoric in the power between work and organizations and work for employee employees have to respond poor pay stress now manageable workloads and all that set and re day that relationship between organizations in the workforce and historical women have always like behind men, have ne, when it come to pay all progressing, their careers is this new generation of women in the workplace changing

related to switching jobs to the highest rates and, and, and rightly so, women are looking at different ways in which they can get meaning from their work. but i think it's important to point out that women are roles already. you know, oh, so and under represent the leadership and still experience my progressions and gender equality. and tackling equality is still a huge challenge for the global workforce. and they still attend to pay gap, which is related to economic, cultural, social, and educational factors. and some and organizations where they need to still start thinking about flexible work and how much jobs in their organization is dominated by males pay discrimination. the nice thing to tackle gender equality and more broadly, and audit and support women in the workplace. really need to think about how tackle

issues like can be utilized ation is skills or downward occupational ability. for example, when women returning to work up to having children. so leaders and managers in catholic tends apply management processing policy to support women in the workplace . a lot of economies around the world are starting to slow down. recession is being so cost for 2023. could an economic downturn shift the balance back to employees? i think the answer to that really is to be, to be an expense in which the academic flow will take place, whether it's a significant or drastic flow down, or whether it's something which is a little less the less and work in the temporary economic way down where it really changed the way it was seeing what we're seeing, a really big shift in the way we're in the right place or interacting with each other. the rule is though an economic slowdown will change that power relationship

between organizations and work. and it will be a really interesting thing to monitor as we go through the next couple of years. as i say, what we know is how large downtime will be. and books likely to have an impact on where it is fighting back if, if that continues to experience it in hospitable conditions. i didn't really get to talk to adrian writes, director of the institute for such into organizations, work unemployment at b, lancaster, school of business enterprise. thank you for your time. thank you. the whether it is remote working or an office space job and the course any thriving business is productive employees. career experts estimate the more than 40 percent of workers would lower their productivity standards in a toxic work environment, while at least 12 percent would leave that job due to toxic work cultures,

employee's disengagement cost. the global economy was 8 trillion dollars. that's 11 percent of g d p. according to the american analytics company, gallup anthony. the pump is a reset scientist on associate the department of behavioral and cognitive sciences at the university of luck. somebody joins me now from lux back. thank you for joining the program. doesn't really matter that people are happy at work. thank you for the information and yes, it does matter. as matter of fact, when you are looking to have a job, we do spend actually a large part of our life, us work. so it is important to work because then it will have an impact on our general well being. then i think from the perspective of an employer or perspective, a manager is also very important because that was the consequences. for instance, we know that we're being at work increases productivity. we also know that happy workers they are more likely to cooperates and they'll so let's back to the quick.

and last but not least, it is also very important from the perspective of policymakers. but, you know, governments now are considering taking well being a goal on its own. so definitely when being at work. and i think what we do in general is actually very important. according to pretty extensive survey done by gallup, they found the job. unhappiness is at a staggering old time high. why is that? that? that's actually a very good question. i think what we are doing in our research is to try to understand what are the determinants of hadnot. that's where it, you know, in general so that we can understand what's happening today. and we bill, for instance, that one of the most important determinants of being at work is just to curity. and as of today we are in the situation where job security is on the right, or we are more and more afraid of losing our job. so this might be one of the reasons why we have this increasing trend in job satisfaction. i think it is

worth mentioning is the impact of the working after and then a working was associated with decreases in happiness. this is what we have with my team and we're still hungry and some price with economy. so this cost is, you know, more insecurity. all the working than my or contributes to reduce what being at work today. what about pe and room renumeration? where does that fall in the happiness criteria of work is what we discovered and even more interesting from my perspective. as that money don't matter as much as there was thing before, job insecurity or it doesn't matter as much as having a good balance between your personal life and your working life. so definitely, and i read matters, but not as much as the author characteristics. it's not fun comment to see people accepting it, pay cuts when the change of job because the new job is more practical in terms of

working time because the job is more interesting. so that had taken both hands, but it's not the most important job characteristics. anthony, we've been talking on this program about the whole phenomenon of working from home, but it's taken off since the pandemic started work. is that work from home? more productive because they are happier? it's actually a very good question because i think what we, what we learned from our research is that the effect of working is very context sensitive. before the pandemic, they were really papers, you know, trying to understand whether working from home was making workers happier and more productive. and before, depending papers were pretty positive, they were saying that yes and working from home, mitchell happy and much more productive. but then we thought about this with my mother in law sumburgh and my colleagues at the high school, the economy. and we started to think that may be effect the positive effect of working. my 3 depend on the context and this is why we look that they get out at

the beginning of the probably $900.00. and then actually we found that working at the beginning of the time it was negative on average. and this is not surprising because with covey, the many people were forced to get it work and it was not a choice and not have adequate equipment to efficiently work from home. and when we're talking about working during the panoramic work to think about lock downs and for the fact that you had your children and you have all your family that to go home. and you can also exercise after, you know, after day off the working well, just at home. so i think the effect of working on happiness, i 1st is very complex since you came and then when it comes to productivity. well, with the university of ross and we collected a survey very recently about the opinions of thousands of work or about productivity. why is that working? and actually only 25 percent of them considered to have been more productive thanks that they work. so what you will tips to both employees and to manages for what

makes a happy workplace? well, i think i think it's a mix of small and big things. i'm thinking about the case of stated working, for instance, i think at the manager level, it is very important to value your teams efforts and make them understand what they have been doing is actually valued because you know, when you are a worker and when you're working from home, you don't have connection, we don't manager, you don't have this connection. we just seem as much as you used to have it in person. so when it comes to working, i think really bearing in mind that the efforts of your team available is something that needs to be that manager needs to bear in mind. another thing i think that's important is to respect, you know, the boundaries and thinking about that working for instance, if you are working in a team and you have a very important to send and it's a pm 5 pm, you know, outside of regular working time, i understand that sending the man will somewhat,

how are you sleeping better because you're going to get rid of this burden of sending the mail. but we, today we have this technology that allows us to program sending, you know, sending of an email. so if you want to write an email outside of working time, then you can just program it and make sure that it's since the morning after so that you don't put the weight on your team. so read very small efforts, the small things to help creating a think, what it can be happy and safe workplace. the interesting you talked about technology does as it is, it's technology making. people be advancing technology, making people happy at work it's. it's a tricky question because i think, i think on one side, we can definitely set this technology on making us more productive. that better for sure. for me i'm, i'm taking a person example being and being a researcher. technology help me every day. i can connect to the internet wherever i am, i can work almost wherever i am. that is not a problem. and this really contributes to my husband. that is for sure to know that

i can, i can just work for the world. but at the same time, it's also important to have good practices and to put boundaries when it comes to technology because you synchronize your phone, you know, with your personal phone, with your professionally males, then you never really just would work really good to talk to anthony laquanta reset scientists and associate the department of behavioral and cognitive sciences at the university of lex. thank you. thank you very much. that is all so for this week, get in touch with us by tweeting me at moline site and do use the hash, like a j, c t. c. when you do or drop us an email counting the calls to out, is there a dot net is our address. as movie online at out is there a dot com slash ctc website that will take you straight to our page, which has individual report links and in time episodes for you to catch up on that is it for this edition of counting the cost i money in site for the whole team.
