WFH crackdown | How firms are risking their employer brand by tightening remote work rules

Employers are toughening up remote working rules, with three out of five UK workers revealing their company has become stricter about making staff come into the office.

But such moves could cause “a great deal of pain” to firms, with a huge impact on employer brand, an expert has warned.

In a survey of 2,000 workers across the nation, conducted by Randstad UK, 60% agreed with the statement: “In the past few months, my employer has become stricter about making sure staff come into the office.”

But the research showed that cutting working from home options may prove counterproductive for organisations.
