Flexible working and mental health

  • Reference: 2021/3248
  • Question by: Onkar Sahota
  • Meeting date: 15 July 2021
The Government has indicated they may want to make working from home “normal” going forward. We know that working from home has proved very beneficial for some individuals, and incredibly difficult for others. How will the Mayor work with businesses in London – potentially though the Good Work Standard - to help find a way forward which centres the mental health of workers, ensuring that working from home can remain an option for many people, whilst not creating a culture where businesses functionally force those who do not want to to work from home to cut down on costs?

Service Charges (2)

How do you ensure that landlords do keep fees and charges to a minimum?
