The Leader podcast: Is it ‘Older’ workers “duty” to go back to the office?

Our political editor Nicholas Cecil joins the show to tell us about the government minister who says it’s the “duty” of older workers to get back to the office so they can guide their younger colleagues.

Skills minister Gillian Keegan is also urging firms to use the summer to “ramp up” getting staff back into the office.

She stressed that many young employees had missed out on key development experiences in their jobs because they have been working from home.

However, the Government is under growing pressure to get civil servants back into Whitehall as it encourages more employees to return to the workplace in the private sector.

Ms Keegan estimated that about 20 to 25 per cent of staff at the Department for Education are in the office on any one day at the moment.
