New research from recruitment experts shows 90 percent of white-collar employees would look for another job if they had to come back to the office more often.

A survey run by recruitment company Robert Walters, which interviewed over 2000 Kiwi workers, revealed a majority preferred their flexible working hours.

CEO Shay Peters says it's unlikely employers would be demanding their staff to return en masse.

"I do think employers are wanting a little more presence by their employees. I think everyone understands the benefits of people collaborating together, innovating together and bouncing ideas around."
