With England opening up again, and Johnson staying firm that workers should continue working from home if able, legal experts WrightHassall.co.uk decided to explore the sectors that are adopting remote work for more jobs than others.
The pandemic has changed the way many of us work, and it is likely that these changes will remain in place for quite some time. Despite Sunak’s warning that businesses who don’t return to their offices will face losing staff, many businesses are opting to work entirely remotely.
There have been proven benefits of working from home, including increased productivity, flexibility, and overhead financial savings – energy comparison site SaveOnEnergy.com/uk found that, on average, Brits saved £867 alone during the first three months of lockdown!
