The 5⃣ day office week could become the norm again within 2⃣ years
"The reason for that is, one of the benefits of being in the office is having interactions with other people, coming up with new ideas and sharing information."

But I was speaking to a partner in a large architects firm at the weekend who says they’ve already lost 50% of their space and welcoming different working patterns in the long term. See this very much as a permanent culture shift...

Ludicrous nonsense. Polls consistently show 95%+ of employees never want full-time office work ever again, and 60% want 3+ days remote. Any company that forces a five-day office week will be at a competitive disadvantage for attracting talent and will struggle to survive by 2030.

Engineering, for example, is a team sport.
It is impossible to train design engineers remotely: you learn most by being around those more experienced than you. Not to mention collaboration benefits of co-location.

5 days a week in the office: No thanks.
@CentreforCities
Many people will have permanently changed their childcare and working arrangements to enable them to work more productively and sustainably from home. Two people with kids can do more hours working remotely.

Do people not share on two or three days ? Selfish swines. 😉

Having a laugh surely.... most are not going back. We weren't 5 days a week before pandemic why would we do that after?
Poor 'report', very biased. Didn't read the room at all.

I do hope so. Working from home is partly OK, but office work really does help on many levels.

There are lots of jobs where talking to your colleagues is not part of the deal.

I'd rather this had at least a veneer of independence... I'm not sure a think-tank called 'Centre for Cities' was going to do anything other than promote a full-time return to an office. Anyone who's role doesn't involve a 'widget' can work from home & save cost/time of a commute

stop trying to make it a thing, its been proven ramming people in offices 5 days a week is bad for productivity and work life balance. also why is the bbc so damned excited to keep posting this crap. you guys got shares in a office renting business or something ?
