The COVID-19 pandemic was probably the most significant disruptor of the world of work since the Industrial revolution. The first development was the move to home working, in April 2015 4.3% of people described themselves as working from home, in 2019 this has grown to 5.1%. Due to COVID-19, in April 2020 49.2% of adults were working from home, with evidence that this remained high during the year.

Amanda Glover, Employment Solicitor at Clarkslegal discusses the impact on this for employers in 2021.
