The rise of remote and hybrid working during the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a gradual decline in home working as office returns began. By early 2025, 28% of UK staff were hybrid workers, with a notable increase in required office days. Employers are tightening hybrid arrangements, with two to three days in the office becoming the norm. Occupation type significantly influences in-office requirements, with accounting and IT roles demanding more office presence. Despite the increase in office days, the share of job postings mentioning remote work remains stable.
