  • The number of job postings allowing work from home on Fridays has decreased, indicating a shift towards more traditional working patterns.
  • Property giant Landsec reports a rise in office attendance on Fridays, reaching its highest level since 2022.
  • Deutsche Bank and L’Oréal are among the companies enforcing office attendance on Fridays, with L’Oréal requiring staff to be in the office at least two Fridays a month.
  • Mayor Sadiq Khan plans to scrap peak Tube fares on Fridays for three months to encourage higher passenger numbers.
  • Hybrid working models remain popular, but there's a noticeable trend towards increasing office presence at the end of the week.
