It’s time to get back to working from work

Recent research has cast doubt on the efficiency of working from home, now we can return to the office (at least most of the time)

Spring is just around the corner and it feels like the workers of the UK are at last emerging from their winter slumbers, sniffing the air, and getting back to something close to normal working conditions. The commuter trains are filling up once more and footfall on the streets of London is noticeably increasing.

Our practice is resuming a four-day week in the office today (31 January), with one day working from home – which is not to be confused with “a day off” as I have heard it referred to. This raises the question of the degree of flexibility that should be given to staff post-pandemic now that everyone has had more than enough time to assess their position in the world and appraised their work/life balance to some degree.
