Bosses haul staff back to the office as remote working boom peaks

Employers cut back flexible job offers as economic downturn looms, survey shows

Britain’s work from home boom has passed its peak, according to new data that reveals bosses are ditching remote job adverts and hauling employees back into the office.

The jobs site LinkedIn said that remote adverts declined for a fifth straight month in September as power shifts back to employers, mirroring trends in Europe and the US.

Fewer than 12pc of adverts were for fully remote working in September as hiring begins to cool, compared to a peak of 16pc in January. This is the lowest level since data collection began in September 2021, just after the UK emerged from Covid restrictions.

Josh Graff, managing director for Europe at LinkedIn, said: “The balance of power is starting to shift back to employers as economic storm clouds gather and hiring slows.
