Ban public sector workers from working from home

Closed 30 signatures

What the petition asks

I believe that working from home is causing many mistakes and delays within public services. This can have a knock on effect on shops, cafes, pubs, restaurants etc. and workers' mental health.
We believe all public sector workers should be in their offices. As stated above there are too many mistakes being made and delays which I believe are a result of working from home. For example I wrote to HMRC on 10.02.23 and received a response on 10.05.23. I know a lot of people who are having problems with public services whose employees are working from home still and I believe some of the delays with the NHS are down to admin staff working from home still.
