Is 2023 the year when flexible working snaps? Judging by the conversations I have been having with business leaders across the automotive industry, the tide of opinion seems to be turning against remote or hybrid working.
Yes, it can work well for some business models – the workforce for car subscription company Pivotal is 100% remote, for example – but more and more retailers and manufacturers seem to be falling out of love with it.
It restricts collaboration and creativity, they say, with employees unable to bounce ideas off each other spontaneously to come up with solutions.
