This paper analyzes the link between work from home and labour cost in 29 European countries. Analyzed data from Eurostat for the period 2019- 2021 suggest a strong link between work from home and labour cost regardless of the frequency of use (sometimes or usually). We can observe an increasing dependence of these two variables, which will be apparently reflected as a trend in the nearest future. Growing inputs in the form of an increase in the price of electricity and gas forces us to reconsider the strict functioning of the on site work.
