Barclays softens return-to-office plans for UK staff after backlash

Barclays has scaled back its return-to-office requirements for UK staff after criticism from employees and trade unions, including Unite. The bank had faced pushback over plans to force more workers back to its offices, part of a wider debate in British banking over flexible and hybrid working arrangements.
Why now: The bank's climbdown on office attendance rules touches a live debate about working-from-home rights and employer mandates.
