A report from Women in Banking and Finance - UK confirms what many suspected about 'return to office' mandates: that they are being ignored as finance staff choose flexibility and productivity over presenteeism.https://www.wibf.org.uk/images/uploads/documents/6234_WIBF_UTOPIA_PDF_Report_Nov_2022.pdf The study found that women especially favored a more flexible approach and flagged concerns that overly prescriptive approaches to working in the office would deter female staff.
