Remote And Hybrid Work In The Battery Industry Statistics 2026

Only 21% of employees in battery, mining, metals, and manufacturing worked from home at least one day per week in 2023, down from pandemic levels. In Japan, 24% of employed people did some work from home in 2023, showing hybrid stays in the mix even after the initial shift. For battery and mining teams, that split helps explain why collaboration and workforce planning tools are being reconsidered for distributed schedules.
