Stuart Rose's assertion that remote working is 'not proper work' overlooks the complexities of different industries, particularly in sectors like legal and financial services. Contrary to his claims of regression, many professionals successfully work in hybrid modes without negative impacts on productivity or profitability. In fact, London's legal sector is witnessing strong profits while maintaining a flexible work schedule. This disparity highlights that remote work's effectiveness varies significantly across different professions, suggesting a more nuanced approach is needed in evaluating its validity.
Many of London's professionals would take issue with (perhaps be insulted by) Stuart Rose's statement that they are "not doing proper work" when their fee-earning (and other targets) are just as high for remote working as when in the office.
The common working pattern for London's lawyers and accountants (FTE) is 3:2, three days in the office and two at home. This working pattern is having no adverse impact on profitability or productivity.
