Over half of employees believe their home office set-up falls short of standard workplace amenities, a new poll claims. The study from Brita and Oktra (page includes promotions) claims to highlight the value of functional design and the impact well-designed workspaces have on employee wellbeing, engagement, and productivity.

More than half (54 percent) of office workers say that, despite the rise in home working over the last two years, their current home office set up still falls short of office amenities compared to their office, with lack of space (70 percent), lack of funds to buy office furniture (46 percent) and sharing space with children (26 percent) preventing employees from having a well-designed work environment at home.
