FLEXIBLE working should be available for all and not just those working from home, the TUC said today after a government research group reported on remote working. The Flexible Working Task Force is drawing up guidance, expected to be published before lockdown restrictions are due to end next month, to support the emergence of hybrid ways of working during the Covid-19 pandemic. Taskforce co-chair Peter Cheese said that the crisis had demonstrated that people could work productively away from traditional settings, with a majority of firms reporting that home working had either improved or made no real difference to productivity.
