'Not proper work' | WFH has set UK back 20 years, says ex-Asda, M&S boss

The former boss of Asda and M&S says working from home isn't  "proper work” and has set the UK's productivity back by 20 years.

Lord Stuart Rose told BBC’s Panorama that WFH was harmful for productivity and that personal development was suffering as a result of the working model that has now been mainstream for five years.

“We have regressed in this country in terms of working practices, productivity and in terms of the country’s wellbeing, I think, by 20 years in the last four” said Lord Rose to the BBC.

“We are creating a whole generation and probably a generation beyond that of people who are used to actually not doing what I call proper work. I believe that productivity is less good if you work from home.
