Workers need to be given access to an appeals process if they are refused an option of remote working, the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development has urged.

The call comes as employment minister Alan Dillon announced a public consultation on Tuesday seeking views on the right to request remote working. The public consultation comes amid a growing push by man employers to bring employees back to the office, and squeezing of remote and hybrid working opportunities.
