There is no requirement around hybrid working. Hybrid working is recognised as a key tool to ensure the sustainable recovery of the economy therefore we are encouraging employers to consider this model however we recognise businesses are best placed to understand how their operations work most effectively and also to understand their employees’ needs and requests for flexible working, based on consultation with staff and unions. We trust businesses to make balanced and risk assessed decisions
