Offices in the U.K. are making a comeback—or maybe employees are. Workers and employers have been engaged in a tug-of-war over return-to-work mandates since the easing of COVID-19 restrictions. But U.K. employers’ push to bring their staff back to the office may now be paying off, with more workers coming to offices all days of the week than staying home—for the first time since the pandemic.
Global recruitment agency Hays Plc found that about 43% of employees worked entirely from the office between August and September, compared to 36% during the same period in 2022. That's compared to fewer than two-fifths of employees who are working in a hybrid set-up and one-fifth working fully remotely, according to a Hays report viewed by Fortune.
