Hybrid working could help get more disabled people into work, peers say

The recent report from a House of Lords committee highlights the potential benefits of hybrid working for disabled individuals and carers, suggesting that the UK government should encourage employers to adopt more flexible work arrangements. This recommendation comes at a time when the need for inclusivity in the workplace is increasingly recognized. By integrating remote and hybrid working options into back-to-work initiatives, the government could significantly improve access to employment for those with disabilities and long-term health conditions. This approach not only addresses the barriers faced by these groups but also aligns with broader societal goals of equality and diversity in the workforce.
