A new study has found that finance professionals in the Caribbean strongly prefer to work from the office rather than engage in either remote or a hybrid work arrangement.

The study, ACCA’s Global Talent Trends in The Americas 2023, found that the pandemic did not move Caribbean financial professionals towards hybrid and remote working as it did in many other parts of the world. In fact, it pointed out that, unlike across North America where only 17 per cent of finance professionals are fully office-based, in the Caribbean that figure is multiples higher at 63 per cent.

One Caribbean round-table participant agreed that working from home is easier but suggested there are other elements to weigh.

“I lose probably three hours getting to and from the office so it’s more productive to me being at home,” he explained. “But the problem with that is that sometimes you need the collaboration.”
