But, of the BBC’s responses, 50 were against working from home.
One of those was Hannah, 31, a technical support manager in Birmingham.
After the pandemic, her employer shut down all its offices so she had to work remotely full-time. She says this has taken a toll on her mental, physical and financial health, prompting her to consider changing careers and moving house to improve her situation.
“It feels like I’m in a lockdown that’s never going to end,” she says.
Lord Rose, who recently stepped down as Asda’s chairman, told the BBC: “We have regressed in this country in terms of working practices, productivity and the country’s wellbeing.”
For Hannah, who is single, remote work has left her feeling isolated.
“All the people who love working from home are in relationships, or have children, live with family – they’re not 100% alone all the time like me.”
