Now, with the UK government's roadmap out of lockdown underway, it is predicted that employers will strive to keep the element of flexibility by moving to hybrid working models.

It is then unsurprising that remote working appears to have increased in popularity over the last year, with a survey in 2020 revealing almost 90% of respondents wanted to continue working from home in some capacity moving forwards.
