About 75% of employees went to the office despite work from home advice

NL Times  

Even though the Cabinet's advice is still to work at home as much as possible, roughly three-fourths of employees worked on location at the end of last year amid Omicron concerns and harsher lockdowns being implemented. Nearly 60 percent did not always maintain social distancing with third parties, and 40 percent did not stay 1.5 meters apart from their colleagues. Of people who did work from home, at least some of the time, 90 percent believe that the pandemic changed working conditions permanently. On Monday, employers' association AWVN announced that concrete agreements about a work from home allowance had been made in 90 collective labor agreements, covering 1.1 million employees.
