Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic led to an increase in working from home (WFH). Part of this increase in WFH is likely to stick post-COVID. One question is: in which firms will it? Using survey data covering over 1,500 firms across industries in the Netherlands, we find that WFH is more likely to stick in firms with structured management practices. This finding holds even whilst controlling for firms’ level of digitalization.
