Barclays has scaled back its return-to-office requirements for UK staff after criticism of its original plans. The bank's decision follows opposition from employees and trade unions, including Unite, and touches on the wider debate over working from home in the banking sector. The move is being closely watched as other employers weigh how strictly to enforce office attendance.
Why now: The bank's climbdown on office attendance rules reflects a live, broader dispute over remote work policies.
