Hybrid work may have to face up to commercial reality for year ahead

Work-life balance: Some of Ireland's leading companies have proposed that staff come to the office three days a week instead of two as they had been doing previously.

Ireland has been something of a trailblazer when it comes to supporting employees – many of whom are female – who wish to work from home.

According to a recent report by the CIPD, the HR rep body, covering Ireland and the UK, 91% of employers now offer some form of flexible working arrangement, including 50% who permit staff to work from home at least part of the time.
