Research from Towergate Health and Protection shows that 91% of companies have a hybrid working model and 98% of companies have encouraged workers back to the office.
The research also showed that 30% of employees work from home for at least three days a week, with those aged between 31-40 being the most likely to want to work from home. Over 60s and under 25s are the leas likely to want to work from home.
Debra Clark, head of wellbeing, Towergate Health and Protection, said: "Employers should look to offer as wide a range of support as possible and make it easily accessible from the workplace and remotely. We're seeing more employers using employee benefit platforms to help with this."
Of those businesses which have attempted to encourage employees back, the top methodologies included: more onsite socials (42%); free drinks and/or meals (40%); onsite wellbeing days (38%); and made in-person counselling available (38%).
Towergate closes out the research by reinforcing the message that while these methods are positive for employees, employers need to "ensure these needs are met for home or hybrid workers too."
Clark said: "Many employers are still offering some level of flexibility over work locations and the drive for a return to the office has mostly been on a voluntary basis.
"The important thing is ensuring that the employer is still able to engage with their employees, regardless of the work setting. Employee benefits and support will need to remain flexible and adaptable to both scenarios."
