The House of Lords Home-based Working Committee will hear from a
number of businesses and trade associations on Monday 9
June in two evidence sessions that will seek to
understand the employer perspective on the effects of remote and
hybrid working. The sessions will consider the effects of remote
and hybrid working on issues such as team management, recruitment
and retention, productivity and use of office space.
The first session will start at 2.15pm with the following
session at 3.20pm. Both can be watched live or on demand
at Parliament
TV or in person in Committee Room 3, Palace
of Westminster.
Giving evidence will be:
2.15pm
-
Sir , Joint Chairman,
Bristol Port Company;
-
Rachael Gillett, Chief People Officer, Compare
the Market; and
-
Stephen Noakes, Executive Director of Retail,
Nationwide.
3.20pm
-
Antony Walker, Deputy CEO, techUK; and
-
Verity Davidge, Director of Policy and Public
Affairs, MakeUK.
Questions may include:
- As employers, what is your policy towards working location
being office-based, home-based, or hybrid? What evidence have you
used to decide on this?
- What evidence do you have on how working location affects
recruitment, retention, and career progression, particularly for
women and other under-represented groups?
- How does working location affect customer satisfaction and
how does this vary across different types of work?
- How does trust between employers and workers affect remote
and hybrid working practices, for example in relation to
performance management and employee accountability?
- How do employers measure the productivity impact of remote
and hybrid working and what can they do to improve this?
