Staff spending part of the week working from home is becoming normal for some firms, according to data. 

A survey by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) found that 84 per cent of managers said their companies had adopted some form of hybrid working – around two-thirds of which had been prompted by the pandemic.

Large firms were more likely to offer such arrangements than small ones, while more practical jobs such as those in factories, transport and trades were also less likely to offer hybrid working. 

The CMI encouraged firms to embrace hybrid working as ‘best practice’, with chief executive Ann Francke saying companies would need to ‘blend’ their approach.
