Hybrid working is now the norm for many workplaces, but what do you do when yours wants you to be in the office full-time and you’re not keen? Here, The Honest Boss takes on this all too common problem
“The company I work for has been encouraging us to return to the office full-time. I’ve been doing this for a few weeks but I don’t feel as productive and my motivation has plummeted. Previously, I was enjoying a hybrid working arrangement of one to two days in the office. Having that flexibility since the pandemic had become really important to me, and I had noticed a positive difference to my overall wellbeing. But I don’t know if I have a strong enough case to put in a flexible working request, plus I’m worried what my colleagues will think if I talk about my lack of productivity, especially as I work in HR. How can I tackle this? I love my role and don’t want to quit.”
Clare, 31
