PCS general secretary Fran Heathcote highlighted that the decision to mandate in-office attendance is arbitrary, stating, 'There is no evidence people work better in the office. In fact, the opposite is true because workers are more productive when they have a better work-life balance, not having a stressful commute and able to spend more time with their family at home before and after work.' This underscores the importance of maintaining flexible work arrangements.
The decision by the Metropolitan Police to enforce increased office attendance has prompted the Public and Commercial Services union to ballot its 2,400 members for strike action. This reflects a growing trend among government workers battling similar attendance policies, as PCS members at various departments have already voted or are organizing for reduced office days, indicating widespread discontent over compulsory office returns.
