Remote working ‘here to stay’
UK offices will never be quite the same again. With employees across the country working from home during the Covid-19 pandemic, it’s likely that many will not be returning to the office – or at least, not full-time.
In a survey by the BBC, 43 of 50 big employers questioned said that they would embrace a mix of home and office working, with staff encouraged to work from home two to three days a week.
Some companies cited “smart working” and “flexibility” as reasons for introducing hybrid working, with many suggesting that workers would be able to make their own choices about how often they come into the office.
