The number of people working from home has doubled since before the pandemic despite employers’ efforts to draw people back to the office
Lord Stuart Rose, a prominent British businessman, argues that working from home (WFH) is detrimental to productivity and has caused a regression in British work practices. He believes that the rise of WFH, especially among younger generations, is leading to decreased output and harming the UK economy.
This viewpoint contrasts with other perspectives, which suggest that WFH can improve productivity and employee wellbeing, especially for disabled workers. There is also evidence that WFH doesn't significantly impact company productivity. Furthermore, the UK government supports flexible working arrangements to boost workforce participation and economic growth.
The debate highlights the complexities and ongoing discussion surrounding the future of work and the balance between in-office and remote work arrangements.
