Everybody out: a flexible approach might work for staff, but does it work for businesses?
Walking through local parks this week, it was like someone had switched the world from drab to high definition. Taking full advantage of the early spring sunshine and gradual easing of lockdown, Rule of Six barbecues and picnics had sprung up like crocuses. Legs were out, sunglasses on and sound systems echoed in the distance, with similar scenes playing out on green spaces and beaches across the UK.
The collective sigh of relief is almost audible. But have we given up on work and gone fully feral, those of us that can? Without a doubt, our attitude to work has changed – possibly forever.
