Jonathan Reynolds emphasized the productivity benefits of working from home and criticized previous governments for undermining flexible work arrangements, suggesting this approach may help tackle regional inequality in the UK.
In a stark assessment of former minister Jacob Rees-Mogg's stance on remote work, Reynolds described the opposition to working from home as 'bizarre' especially given the economic circumstances the country faces.
Reynolds advocated for a balanced approach to office and home working, acknowledging that while remote work offers flexibility, there are situations where physical presence in the office is essential for employees.
The business secretary believes that promoting flexible working arrangements is crucial not only for business productivity but also as a strategy to address the UK's significant regional disparities in economic opportunity.
