It seems that not a day can go by without another employer coming out and making a statement about their remote working practices. Whether it's the funky tech start-up letting staff work wherever and whenever they want, Alan Sugar with his strong views on our "lazy" workforce or, now, Disney in the US with a mandate to get office staff in 4 days a week, it's clear that there is still a debate to be had.

However, with COVID now (thankfully) long behind us, and an increasing voice advocating the need for and benefits of face-to-face working, are we going to see more employers take a firmer stance like Disney? Personally, I am seeing many clients shift from 'encouraging' to 'insisting that' staff come in more and more.

Will 2023 be the (Buzz Light) Year in which the debate is settled....
