Remote working became commonplace during covid, but companies now feel in a strong enough position to demand that their workers return to their offices.Summary
This article by Alex Christian, writing for the BBC, makes these points about leading corporations demanding workers on flexible conditions return to the workplace:
- A third of companies who planned to adopt a virtual or hybrid model have recently changed their minds.
- Many companies believe that closer contact with a group improves creativity and management of outcomes.
- Those moving towards ‘flexible, intentional working’ (recalling workers) may settle for three or four days in the office.
