Remote work is no longer a temporary fix; it’s a permanent feature of the UK workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent study covered by The Times<\/strong><\/a> from King’s College London found that UK employees now work remotely an average of 1.8 days per week, compared to 1.3 days globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, a Forbes Advisor survey<\/strong><\/a> revealed that 63% of UK workers now work remotely either on a part or full-time basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This shift offers big benefits and real challenges for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in particular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
