" In September, 12% of UK jobs advertised on the site were remote, compared with 16% in January "
领英在欧洲、中东、非洲与拉美地区的总经理乔什·格拉夫（Josh Graff）表示，9月在领英网站上只有12%的英国招聘广告接受远程办公，而这一比例在1月还是16%。

沉重的经营压力和堪忧的工作效率?

According to a survey released by LinkedIn alongside the data on remote job opportunities, the shift away from them is linked to the current economic situation.
领英发布了与远程办公岗位机会相关的数据，并对此进行了调查，认为工作机会的改变与当下的经济形势密不可分。
Sixty-eight percent of executives surveyed said they were concerned that the ongoing uncertainty about economic stability and a looming recession would force their companies to undo at least some of the progress made toward flexible working during the coronavirus pandemic.
调查中有68%的高管表示，他们担心疫情期间持续不稳定的经济现状和即将到来的经济衰退将导致公司取消一些灵活性工作项目。
“我们观察到全球的招聘市场发展低迷，很多公司的招聘工作停滞不前，那些商业领袖正在承受管理经营成本和提高生产效率的双重压力。” 格拉夫解释道。
Graff added that staff and bosses also disagree about the efficacy of working from home. Microsoft Corp. research found that 80% of managers felt their teams were less productive when they were not in the office. About 85% of managers worry they can’t tell if employees are getting enough done, while 87% of workers say their productivity is just fine.
他还说，员工和老板对于居家办公的工作效率也存在分歧。微软公司的调查发现，80%的企业管理者觉得团队居家办公的效率比在办公室里更低。85%的管理者担心自己无法判断员工的工作完成度，然而87%的员工却觉得他们的线上工作效率还可以。

However, several studies over the past few months show productivity while working remotely from home is better than working in an office setting. A study by Standford of 16,000 workers over 9 months found that working from home increase productivity by 13%.
然而，在过去几个月里进行的几项研究表明，居家办公的效率明显比在办公室里的时候高。斯坦福针对16000名职员开展了为期9个月的研究，发现他们居家办公的效率提升了13%。
The increase was due to more calls per minute attributed to a quieter more convenient working environment and working more minutes per shift because of fewer breaks and sick days.
效率的提升来自于多方面因素：更加安静和便利的工作环境能让工作者提高每分钟拨打电话交流工作的次数，更少的休息和病假，能让工作者每个班期工作的时间更长。
In 2021, 70% of those who worked from home during the pandemic report virtual meetings are less stressful, and 64% now prefer hybrid meetings according to a report by Owl Labs.
根据Owl Labs*的报告，在2021年，有70%的远程工作者在疫情期间认为视频会议的形式能够减轻压力，64%的员工表示他们更喜欢混合模式的会议。

员工诉求与公司需求的艰难博弈
The demand for flexible work options continues to increase even as availability declines. During the February peak, remote job postings attracted 50% of all applications.
虽然工作机会在减少，但是应聘者对于灵活办公的需求却在持续增长。在2月高峰期，应聘远程工作岗位的人数甚至占到了总数的50%。

"This year we are seeing a slower pace of growth, as the economy comes back down to earth after a meteoric rise last year in one of the fastest recoveries we have ever seen," LinkedIn chief economist Karin Kimbrough said.
领英首席经济学家卡琳·金布罗（Karin Kimbrough）称：”去年的经济复苏堪称史上最快的几次之一，在经历了去年飞速的增长之后，今年的经济增长放缓了，回归到了正常的水平。“

She continued: "Nevertheless, labor-market dynamics remain tight. So, in many ways, employees still hold the power to demand more from their employers when it comes to salary, flexibility, and benefits. But this power balance is likely to start leveling out in the coming months."
“虽然如此，劳动力市场依然很紧张。所以，员工仍然能通过很多方式，向雇主要求更多的薪水和福利以及工作的灵活性。不过，员工与雇主之间的权力天平可能将在未来几个月趋于平衡，” 她补充道。
Flexibility was listed as the third most important priority to candidates, after compensation and balance. Even with a shrinking number of remote jobs, Jennifer Shapley — LinkedIn's vice president of global talent acquisition — said she anticipates job flexibility will remain a major priority for candidates.
工作的灵活性被列为对于求职者来说第三重要的考虑因素，仅此于薪水和工作与生活的平衡。领英的全球人才招聘副总监詹妮弗·莎普莉（Jennifer Shapley）认为，虽然远程工作机会在减少，但工作灵活性仍然是求职者择业时考虑的首要条件。

"Even facing an uncertain future, people still highly value two areas of work life that have gotten a lot of attention since the start of the pandemic: work-life balance, and flexible-work arrangements – including remote work. I expect those two attributes to remain top talent drivers for years to come," Shapley said in the report.
“在充满不确定的未来面前，人们依然会重视与工作生活相关的两方面条件，一个是实现工作与生活的平衡，另一个是满足远程办公条件的灵活工作安排。我认为这两个条件仍是未来几年最重要的人才驱动因素。” 莎普莉在报告中说道。
