UK white-collar recruits expected in office more as hybrid working balance shifts
"Hybrid work - where staff split their time between the office and another location, such as their home - has cemented itself as the new normal for millions of workers since the Covid-19 pandemic. However, hybrid roles are no longer as flexible as they were after the end of the lockdowns, according to the job-search website Indeed's study of its listings, highlighting ongoing tensions between employees' expectations and employers' demands."
"The vast majority (85%) of UK hybrid roles posted on Indeed now require at least two days a week in the office, up from 77% in 2024 and 66% in 2023. More than half (56%) of job postings expect workers to spend two days in the office, while one-quarter (25%) require three office days; just 4% specify attendance on four days."
Hybrid work has become the new normal since the Covid-19 pandemic, but hybrid roles are becoming less flexible. Eighty-five percent of UK hybrid roles now require at least two office days weekly, up from 77% in 2024 and 66% in 2023. Fifty-six percent of listings expect two office days, 25% expect three, and 4% expect four. Only 15% of postings permit a single office day, down from 22% in 2024 and about a third in 2022–23. Accounting, HR and IT infrastructure roles have higher office-day averages, while architecture and social science have lower averages; software developers’ office days have risen.
