Returning to work in offices will help younger staff with their careers, the boss of a pub firm has said.
Mr Watson said people returning to offices in town and city centres was "not just to help the hospitality industry", but "to help everyone in the office". It comes as coronavirus infection rates in the country remain high, and unions have raised concerns over safety.Ingrid Temmerman, an executive assistant at Imperial College London, worked from home during the first coronavirus lockdown.
"Before I applied for the [new] role, I had to give it some real thought as to whether I was prepared to compromise a hybrid model," she said. "I'm now at half-marathon distance, having previously not been a runner," he said. "I'm eating much more healthily, instead of relying on food on the go.Image source,Shah Qureshi, partner and head of employment at law firm Irwin Mitchell, says: "Ultimately, the answer is yes" - your employer can tell you to work from the office.
'...says boss' Says it all.
Remember when Boris pretended he was concerned about climate change for a week? Home working is a simple, progressive measure we can build on from the pandemic. But no, get back to the offices, spend spend spend. Unbelievable.
Dreading it. Literally no point.
Low pay will build character - Boss
Can’t wait to dread it
Those with the intention to dig their heels in and stay at home will have dramatic increase in energy bills, heating costs where applicable and their employers wont be footing the bill im sure for those expenses, so this story is going to continue well into the winter of 2022
Commuting to an office to spend the rest of the day on a computer. teams, e mail, on the work infrastructure, seems non productive for some. For others in office connection may be required. It depends on the competency and available resources. I don't think one size fits all.
Or C) Not happening 👍
It wont make much difference for me. I've been living in the vents of my office ever since my wife kicked me out for eating her Prada handbag
People are individuals. While undoubtedly some thrive in the office, others thrive out of the office. The best managers work with their people to ensure they're motivated and productive, and that might mean flexible or hybrid working arrangements.
Nah, what the title should actually be is 'Younger workers, who can't afford large enough homes to not make WFH miserable, go back to the office for space.'
It's hilariousbosses think it will all be like it was. We are irrevocably changed, and that will play out in the coming decade.
Took me 1 hr & 15 mins to get into the office this am, plus £6 train fare and petrol costs. Could have spent that time working from home. Also having not had a pay rise above 1% due to 11 years of tory austerity savings on travel would be massively welcome. Doesn't make sense.
bring back mass immigration. Those who want to wfh indefinetely can be permanataly replaced.
Don't people actually miss the general office atmosphere, chats and banter. Not exactly the same using Teams or Zoom! What an insular society we are becoming
I'm here to show my appreciation to TarellaCampbel who took me out from zero to hero. I'm so glad to be among your winning team ma'am and I will always show my gratitude and work with you always.
Not everyone works in a office !! Us construction workers have been to work all the way through this shambles
My 28 yo daughter changed jobs, mid lockdown. She's been to the office maybe 6 times. Apraisal last week and she's given an 'exceptional' award for outstanding work & keeping the team together. Her performance is due to zero commute, work/life ⚖. This reasoning is rubbish.
Oh bbc have you ever spoken to a real young person 🙃
“We have to keep them poor or they won’t come back” says Boss
Dreading. I’ve got so used to working from home and become just a little socially awkward (to people outside my family). Once upon a time I couldn’t wait to get away from home but that was pre-Covid days. The world has changed. I’ve changed
Government’s can have a rule on work from home, if possible during a pandemic, BUT it cannot have a rule to must work in the office either during a pandemic or outside a pandemic. There are clear limits.
'says boss who can micromanage them'
I know my son is looking forward to it, he's been stuck in a box room for 2 years so yeah 3 days a week will be great for his mental health.
I love how these articles all ask ‘the boss’ rather than the actual people on the ground.. probably a Tory doner to boot..
My organisation is now on permanent blended working (40% time office based only) but I dread going into the office more so when its just as efficient at home, we still have no contact meetings (zoom) in the office so its pointless being there.
WHO still think you should WFH if you can
The daily grind ... ?
Opening new doors instead of the fridge.
One guy who works for a pub said this, so big News. Also chimes in with what rightwing office real estate owners want. Funny that. Who does the BBC work for? Not you, that's for sure.
Work is a thing you do, not a place you go.
The “boss” mentioned in this headline owns a bunch of city centre pubs…. Sure it’s about mentoring?
Coviditus finished😂
Why just younger people? Us middle aged folk are also too looking forward to getting into the office more
Can't wait. Hybrid working is the way forward.
