Is hybrid working here to stay?
According to UK parliament statistics, in 2019 around 12% of the UK workforce worked from home at least one day per week. In 2022, that figure rose to 22%. Data suggests that 80% of employees whom worked at home due to the COVID pandemic, prefer a hybrid model rather than a full return to the office.
However, aside from the stats, what does hybrid working look like in practice? Is it the panacea for work life balance as some would suggest?
