Lord Rose warned that remote working has contributed to a regression in working practices and productivity in the UK, estimating a 20-year decline in just four years.
Work-from-home expert Prof Nicholas Bloom noted that while fully remote work can damage productivity, a hybrid model of three days in-office produces similar results to full office-based work.
A December 2024 UK snapshot survey revealed varying work arrangements: 26% hybrid, 13% remote, and 41% fully office-based, reflecting a significant shift in work culture.
The move to remote work has notably impacted local economies, with a spike in vacant office spaces and a closure of businesses like dry-cleaners, highlighting economic transformation.
