Covid: Should I be working from home or going back to the office?
It will "no longer be necessary" for ดาวน์โหลด slotxo the government to tell people to work from home as the remaining restrictions are lifted in England, the prime minister has announced.
The change is part of the final stage of England's Covid lockdown roadmap, due on 19 July.
Why does the government want people back in the office?
As part of changes due on 19 July, people will no longer be asked to work from home. Mr Johnson said employers will "be able to start planning a safe return to the workplace".
The government wants to help companies which have suffered during lockdown, including those in city centres which rely on office workers.
It's also keen to cut the cost of paying furloughed staff by encouraging businesses to reopen. More than £100bn has been spent on support for jobs.
Can I ask to keep working from home after the advice changes?
You can ask to keep working from home, but that doesn't mean your employer has to agree.
However, the Chartered Institute for Personnel and Development (CIPD) - which represents HR professionals - says there could be much greater freedom and flexibility in how, when and where people work in future.
"People generally want a mix of workplace and home working, and the possibility of more choice in their working routines, meaning hybrid working can provide an effective balance for many workers."
The CIPD adds that the day restrictions end "shouldn't signal a mass return to workplaces" and "it should be down to individual organisations, consulting with their people, to agree working arrangements".
