Andy Burnham government to make major change for workers who want to WFH

The Labour government, led by Andy Burnham, is introducing significant changes to strengthen flexible working rights under the Employment Rights Act. These measures aim to make it more difficult for employers to block staff from working from home. Specifically, businesses will now be required to demonstrate that they have properly considered a worker's request before it can be rejected, ensuring a more rigorous process for those seeking to WFH within their professional roles.
