Slackers or grafters? The truth about working from home

The Story

Available for over a year

As Labour’s party conference gets into full swing in Liverpool this week, we look in detail at a key part of the government’s employment rights package: working from home. Keir Starmer says flexible and hybrid working is better for productivity while large companies like Amazon have ordered their staff to return to the workplace five days a week. Who's right? And what does it mean for where you will work in future? Guests: Harriet Minter, author of WFH (Working From Home): How to build a career you love when you're not in the office. Christ Smyth, Whitehall Editor, The Times. Host: Luke Jones. Clips: LBC, Times Radio. This podcast has been acquired by the BBC. It is not complied by BBC Editorial Standards but covered by the Ofcom Broadcasting Code.
