The paper aims to demonstrate how employee satisfaction with the home office changed during and after Covid.
The research question is how the home office's perception changed after the epidemic's end.
The research had two parts. At first, during the examination, 600 Hungarian residents aged 18-64 who had ever worked at least for three months from home in home office were contacted with an online questionnaire. The survey took part at the end of the 3rd wave of the COVID pandemic, in May and June 2021. The second research phasis took part after Covid, in February and March 2022. During this research, we contacted 1000 Hungarian residents with an online questionnaire.
The analyses found that employee satisfaction with the home office (satisfaction index) decreased, but the positive attitude increased.
The research findings make it clear that the employees are open to the home office option, but they no longer see it as a reward but rather have higher expectations.
