A new survey, carried out by Professional Engineering, shows 92.8% of respondents have not been given a timeframe for a return to normal by their company.
Of the 240 respondents, 87% are working from home. 15.5% of the IMechE members and Professional Engineering newsletter readers say colleagues have been furloughed despite their team working from home.
Although only 7.2% know when normal work will resume, roughly a third (30.5%) expect to work from home for nine to 12 weeks, while a similar number (29.2%) expect it to last for five to eight weeks. 7.3% expect just two to four weeks, so would be returning to work very soon. 10.3% expect longer than three months.
The pandemic took the world by surprise, but some firms were more prepared than others. 16.8% of respondents say their company was ‘not prepared at all’ for the computer engineering jobs, compared to a quarter (24.8%) saying it was ‘very’ prepared, 40.8% ‘somewhat’ prepared, and 17.7% ‘a little’.
