In an era where work dynamics have transcended the traditional office space, prioritising the welfare of our workforce is imperative. Employers are increasingly acknowledging that employee well-being is not just a desirable aspect but an essential foundation for a thriving and sustainable business environment. However, this heightened awareness doesn’t always translate into tangible results felt by employees.

The rise of hybrid working is reshaping the way we work and the way businesses operate. With some 76% of employees considering a flexible approach a core perk in new roles.
For employers and employees, the bill’s arrival marks a significant shift in the ongoing debate between those calling for flexibility and those who want to retain a traditional, in-person way of working.
Now, with flexibility set to become more than just a perk of the job, the question of how this debate can be settled looms larger than ever.
The post-pandemic world has witnessed a significant shift in how we work. Employers and employees alike have embraced the hybrid working style that’s been made possible by modern technology.

HSBC’s move to the former BT office in St Paul’s could be considered a death knell for the economic hub of Canary Wharf – at least if you believe some commentators.
