SIGNIFICANT numbers of people working from home in Scotland have found their jobs more intense and stressful over the past year, according to a groundbreaking new report for the Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC).
In a survey of more than 3,000 workers, over a third felt that their health had worsened as a consequence of working from home, with just over a quarter reporting the opposite.
A significant proportion of respondents hoped not to work full-time from home following the pandemic, while just under a third said that they would not like to return to the office at all.
