Companies turn to ‘hybrid working’ after lockdown

Read my Daily News Digest for The Conservative Woman here.

I lead today with the topic of companies turning to ‘hybrid working’ post lockdowns – an example of the establishment using Covid to their advantage, and forcing through change they’ve been gunning for for years. The latest companies to announce that their staff will have to work from home (for at least some of the time) are Google and the accounting firm KPMG. The damage caused by this isn’t just reflected in the lack of socialisation, but also productivity, which companies say dropped during lockdown when staff worked from home.

We discussed this trend a little while back on the Week in Review, here.
