"A firm culture of presence is now giving way to social distancing in many German companies. Though the coronavirus crisis shows just how well working from home can function in Germany, it also shows the catching up that could be done. In almost all private sector companies to date, the potential for employees to work remotely has not yet been fully realised, especially in administrative professions, IT, natural sciences, and trade and commerce. These are the results of a short expert report from ZEW Mannheim together with the Institute for Employment Research (IAB)."
