Hybrid Working: The Impact of COVID-19 on Finance and how to Excel Through Such Times
After all the concerns raised by employers about a productivity fall due to homeworking, it is interesting that our research suggests that employees think the opposite, that a return to the office could lead to reduced productivity.
Mental health and well-being remain at the top of the agenda. Encouraging as this is, the rhetoric must result in effective policies and plans being implemented to help employees adapt to new ways of working. At the moment, policies are sporadic.
