NatWest has told around 13,000 employees they must work from the office at least two days a week, tightening its hybrid working policy. The move, reported by the Guardian, touches on the broader debate over remote work versus office attendance, with trade unions and staff concerned about work-life balance as major UK employers continue rolling back pandemic-era flexibility.
Why now: The return-to-office mandate reignites the ongoing debate over remote working and employer flexibility in UK banking.
