Description
Working from home became the norm for millions of us around the globe during the Covid-19 pandemic, but now three years on some major employers are insisting on their employees returning to the office, for at least some part of the working week.
The levels of working from home currently vary, depending on the country and its culture. The Netherlands are looking at legislation to allow employees the ability to work remotely, whilst in Japanese culture the preference for employees tends to be going into the office.
So how do we navigate a future where both business and personnel needs are met to provide a good work life balance.
This week on the Inquiry we’re asking ‘Is work from home working?’
