As remote work has become more common, the Labour government is prioritizing the introduction of a "right to switch off" policy, emphasizing the importance of work-life balance for employee well-being.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer highlighted that ensuring employees can disconnect from work is essential for maintaining productivity, arguing that presenteeism can be harmful to both workers and the overall work environment.
With the rise of remote work, employees are feeling the strain on their personal relationships, leading to calls for clearer boundaries around work expectations, such as a legal 'right to disconnect'.
While Labour is promoting the right to switch off as a voluntary code of practice, the government acknowledges the need for flexible working arrangements established during the pandemic.
