As a midwife, I cannot work from home ,babies remain stubbornly analogue. My husband can, and when he does, he is demonstrably more productive. Fewer interruptions, more output. It is hardly revolutionary.
If hybrid working were scrapped and replaced with a 3 hour daily commute, the likely result would not be economic revival but my resignation. That would mean 1 fewer midwife, 1 more Universal Credit claim, and a pause on repaying my Β£60,000 student loan. An innovative growth strategy, perhaps.
Healthcare is already struggling to recruit and retain staff. Policies that quietly push parents, particularly women out of the workforce may not strengthen national prosperity quite as intended.
Hybrid working is not about avoiding work. For many families, it is what makes work possible.
Unless, of course, the real engine of the British economy has been traffic jams all along
