Over the past year, the UK has moved from barely six per cent of its workforce regularly working from home to over 50 per cent – a shift that home-working advocates have been pushing for decades.
But after being forced onto lots of us through a global pandemic, this is likely coming to an end; yesterday Howard Dawber, head of strategy at Canary Wharf Group, told Radio 4’s
Today programme that “from March 29 onwards I think we will see people starting to return to the workplace”.
“There is a lot of fatigue out there,” the head of the financial complex said, adding that while he expected numbers of on-site workers to return to pre-pandemic levels, flexible working may continue, “which would be a good thing.”
