Hybrid working grew in Great Britain even as Covid rules eased, data shows

More than four in five workers want to continue flexible model despite government push for return to office

More than a third of working adults in Great Britain spent at least part of their time working from home this spring, an official survey of working patterns shows, with the proportion of people hybrid working growing even as Covid restrictions eased.

More than four in five workers - 84% - told the Office for National Statistics (ONS) they wanted to continue splitting their time between home and the office after the pandemic, while the ONS also found hybrid working patterns had shifted towards employees spending more working hours at home.
