Key facts
- Bank of England staff have been told to work from desks.
- Staff were previously allowed to work from abroad for two months a year.
The Bank of England has issued a directive to its staff, instructing them to work from their desks rather than from abroad. This policy change comes after it became known that employees had the option to work remotely from foreign countries for a period of up to two months each year. The new guidance emphasizes a return to in-office work, moving away from the flexibility that allowed international remote work.
