Barclays has maintained a hybrid working model, balancing flexibility for employees with the necessity of in-office collaboration. Minimum in-office requirements differ across business areas depending on specific needs. The bank's recent tightening of remote work policies follows JPMorgan's announcement mandating full office attendance. At the same time, influential figures like Lord Sugar are advocating for a return to the office, citing concerns about productivity and the learning opportunities for apprentices, while others suggest that home working has contributed to a decline in the UK economy's efficiency.
We recognise the benefits of balancing flexibility for colleagues with the importance of working together to collaborate in our physical locations.
Our minimum time in-office requirements vary between business areas depending on the nature of work and needs of the business.
I'm a great advocate of getting them back to work, because the only way an apprentice is going to learn is from his colleagues.
Home working was part of the UK economy's general decline and employees' productivity was suffering.
