Where does work belong anymore? The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on working in the UK – Prof Abigail Marks presented findings from the research project at the CASE Welfare Policy and Analysis Seminar. The seminar considered the reality of homebased working and the implications for work during a global pandemic and beyond. The presentation identified key challenges to homeworking in relation to flexibility, work intensification and socio-economic differences. Consideration of these areas highlights the potential pitfalls and challenges that are likely to persist as many organisations begin to plan for an increase in homebased working. It should be clear that some commentators have been too quick to celebrate the apparent successes of the sudden, unplanned move to intensive homebased working. Important differences in occupation, gender and other socio-economic factors have significant implications for the experience of homebased working for many employees and their co-residents.
