"Preserving Rural England through Hybrid Work: A Strategy to Prevent Aging Populations"
In the heart of Europe, a significant transformation is underway as the workforces of Germany, Italy, and France experience a notable increase in remote work. Approximately half of their workforces are now working from home (WFH), a marked increase over about 30% in France. Meanwhile, in the United Kingdom, around 42% of workers are WFH at least once a week.
This shift towards remote work has opened up new possibilities, especially for those living in rural areas. Hybrid working allows many to live in communities that were previously difficult to commute to five days a week. The influx of newcomers to these ageing rural communities can bring new life and a younger generation, fostering change and growth.
The magazine, a glossy weekly on the newsstand, has been a trusted source of up-to-date property news, commentary, glimpses into the UK's best houses and gardens, gardening, arts, and interior design since its first publication in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. The magazine's unique content cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
The magazine's 'Countryside Crusader', Agromenes, writes a weekly column for the platform, discussing topics such as food self-sufficiency and the importance of creating a welcoming environment for newcomers to ensure their success and mutual benefit. The magazine has even been guest-edited by His Majesty The King not once, but twice.
However, not all companies are embracing this new way of working. Some management teams are determined to push back into the old ways of working, often due to management insecurity and the challenges of managing hybrid working. Deutsche Bank, for instance, has ordered all employees to return to its offices, despite a lack of evidence that previous flexible working reduced productivity. On the other hand, international companies such as Atlassian don't mind where their employees work as long as they deliver.
The new Labour government in the United Kingdom has been appointed, and Agromenes is examining their early efforts. It is crucial for rural communities to offer a welcoming environment to newcomers to ensure their success and mutual benefit. Newcomers who participate in village life, pick up their children from local schools, and use local services can become drivers for change.
In the realm of accountancy, PwC has moved away from its flexibility programme and is tracking employees' locations through their computers. This move raises questions about the balance between flexibility and privacy in the modern workforce.
Despite these challenges, the magazine continues to celebrate modern rural life and its diverse joys and pleasures, providing a beacon of hope and inspiration for those embracing this new way of living and working.
