A study suggests more than half of people working from home due to the Covid-19 crisis are in no hurry to get back to the office.
And many of those surveyed by jobs site Glassdoor said they were expecting significant changes to their usual working environment when they do return.
About half of the 2,000 employees quizzed said they believed they would be back in their office in some way in the next few months, although a few said they would continue working from home until next year.
Joe Wiggins, of Glassdoor, said: "Many people are understandably cautious about returning to the office, imagining all sorts of restrictions ranging from which entrances and exits they can use to how they get a cup of coffee.
"Wearing a mask and gloves all day sitting at a desk does not sound like much fun, so much so that 63 per cent of employees are open to working from home full-time and never going back to the office."
Most respondents expect to have to sit two metres apart from their colleagues and face restrictions on the use of corridors and communal spaces such as kitchens.
One in four said they expect everyone to wear masks, but despite these logistical challenges, many wanted to socialise with colleagues again or were simply tired of working from home.
