Labour's Jonathan Reynolds Advocates for Flexible Working to Boost Productivity

The Business Secretary criticizes former Conservative policies and highlights the economic benefits of remote work.

Jonathan Reynolds argues that flexible working can enhance productivity and employee resilience.
He criticizes Jacob Rees-Mogg's previous push for office-based work as 'bizarre' given the economic conditions.
Labour's Employment Rights Bill aims to make flexible working the default and ban zero-hours contracts.
Reynolds believes remote work can help address regional inequalities by broadening talent pools.
The proposed legislation also includes protections against unfair dismissal and a 'right to switch off' outside work hours.
