Most CEOs anticipate hybrid-working model - KPMG

RTE – 02.09.21

Around two thirds of Irish Chief Executives surveyed by KPMG say they expect that most employees in their organisations will be working remotely at least two days a week. That is significantly higher than the global picture where just over a third reported a similar expectation. Around a quarter of CEOs here say they plan to reduce their physical footprint or office space as a result of the pandemic and the resulting changes to work habits. That was as high as 88% last year. Irish CEOs were also optimistic about the domestic economy with confidence back at pre-Covid levels, the seventh KPMG Irish CEO Outlook found. 72% expressed confidence in the growth outlook compared to 56% last year.
