As of the 16 March 2020, the UK public was asked to ‘work from home if you can’ due to the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic. The following month, nearly half of those in employment reported they were indeed working from home (WFH). Similar, rapid changes to WFH were also reported in half of the US workforce (in May 2020) and across Europe (in July 2020).
