Homeworkers Gain Extra Rest as Firms Reevaluate Hybrid Policies. Recent data reveals homeworkers enjoy an extra 24 minutes of sleep per day, thanks to time saved from not commuting. According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), those working from home also gained 15 additional minutes for activities like exercise. The ONS survey highlights that remote workers benefit from nearly an hour saved daily, with 10 minutes less spent on work tasks. Data reflects workers' schedules on survey days, not their overall working habits. Separate surveys show businesses continue supporting remote work for employee wellbeing, though hybrid work options are scaling back. Fully remote work has declined since the pandemic; only 13% of British workers now work solely from home. Hybrid work remains popular, with 28% of employees combining home and office work, especially among parents. Parents working hybrid arrangements: 35% versus 24% of non-parents, with fathers more likely to hybrid work than mothers. Workers with higher qualifications, managers, and those over 30 are more inclined toward hybrid setups. However, companies like Asda and Amazon are shifting employees back to the office, with Amazon requiring full-time office attendance starting January.
