A new survey commissioned by igaming marketing firm ClickOut Media has revealed that more than 30% of UK workers would consider rejecting a job offer if it required more than three days in the office per week. The findings reflect growing expectations for flexible work arrangements, particularly as employers across various industries reassess their hybrid policies.
The nationally representative survey of 2,000 UK workers also found that a third of respondents are concerned their current employer may increase mandatory in-office days. When asked about preferences, over 30% indicated they would favour four or five days of remote work, citing reduced commuting time, lower daily expenses, fewer workplace interruptions, and more control over personal responsibilities as key reasons.
ClickOut Media, a global multi-channel marketing company specialising in the igaming sector, has adopted a fully remote working policy, allowing employees to operate from anywhere. The company supports a distributed workforce of industry content creators and views remote flexibility as a strategic advantage in accessing global talent.
The results underscore the continued relevance of remote and hybrid working models in attracting and retaining skilled professionals. As more organisations—including major corporations like Amazon and certain government departments—move to end remote work arrangements, businesses operating in the igaming sector and beyond may face increased challenges in recruitment and retention if flexibility is not maintained.
ClickOut Media’s approach aligns with evolving workforce expectations and reinforces the broader industry conversation around productivity, autonomy, and the future of work.
Neil Roarty, Gambling Head Analyst at ClickOut Media, said: “This survey emphatically demonstrates that flexible, remote work is no longer a perk, it’s a core expectation.
“Businesses that cling to outdated, rigid office policies are not only risking talent acquisition, but they’re also fundamentally misreading the modern workforce. At ClickOut Media, we’ve always believed in empowering our team with the freedom to work from anywhere, and these findings only reinforce that commitment.”
