Despite extensive efforts, such as free meals and wellness programs, many employees prefer remote work. In response, companies are implementing strict policies linking office attendance to bonuses and job security. For instance, A&O Shearman and PwC require employees to be in the office at least 60% of the time, threatening bonus eligibility and potentially job security for non-compliance. The challenge persists, as data suggests a strong preference for remote work among UK employees, especially following the pandemic.
A&O Shearman warns junior lawyers of bonus eligibility if they don’t comply with hybrid working policies, emphasizing a shift from incentives to strict compliance measures.
Companies are increasingly monitoring office attendance, with some linking it directly to job security, demonstrating a significant change in corporate culture post-pandemic.
Despite significant efforts and incentives, many employees still prefer remote work, leading organizations to reconsider their approaches to workplace policies and employee management.
Data shows a significant preference for remote work among UK employees, indicating a potential clash between employee desires and company policies on office attendance.
