This autumn sees huge businesses such as Apple and Goldman Sachs trying to push their workers into coming into the office for as many days a week as possible. Offices are offering incentives to workers to return, from free coffee to meal coupons. 

With 57% of workers saying that they prefer working hybrid, businesses are having a hard time trying to lure their employees back into offices. Now that Covid-19 is no longer such a prevalent public worry, restrictions are easing. However, faced with one of the worst cases of inflation within many workers’  lifetimes, many hybrid workers are struggling. In this article, we will detail some of the ways that hybrid workers will be impacted by inflation this year.

Salaries are stagnant

The most recent data suggests that people’s earnings are rising at a rate of around 4% annually. While this may seem positive, this rate of increase is far below the current rate of the consumer price index inflation, which is around 10%.

In simple terms, wages are barely rising, but the cost of goods and services are skyrocketing. This means that people in many sectors are struggling to afford their usual lifestyles, which for some people might mean making sacrifices like turning off the heating this winter. 

Coming into the office incurs costs for transport, food, childcare, and more. Many hybrid workers are worried about the increasing cost of returning to the office, as this can be outside their budgets.

Transport is limited

Many hybrid workers rely on public transportation on the days they need to attend their offices in person. This can become complicated these days due to planned strikes.

National Rail is planning strikes in various locations throughout the country. Due to these strikes, Great Northern is issuing ‘Do Not Travel’ notices throughout the North. Other parts of the country, such as London, will also be affected by the Thameslink strikes.

Other public transport sectors have also considered strikes, including the planned Arriva bus strikes, which have recently been called off. In these financially uncertain times, public transport can be unreliable, as workers campaign for fairer pay.

Workers who rely on public transport might have to consider alternative routes on their commute, such as driving, on days where they need to be in the office. This can feel like a huge financial burden with the current record prices of fuel, and it can be doubly difficult for people who do not currently own a vehicle.

Many cannot afford childcare

Many parents who are working on a hybrid basis rely on childcare services such as babysitters on the days in which they have to travel into offices. This cost has already risen to a level that is unattainable for many parents. 

The cost of childcare has become so dramatic that workers are struggling significantly with the costs. 43% of working mothers reported to Mumsnet that they were considering leaving their jobs due to their inability to afford childcare.

London-based think tank Autonomy uses data from the Trade Union Congress to estimate that working parents could save £1440 in childcare annually for every day they work from home instead of at the office. This study was done in 2021, and the figure is expected to rise sharply this autumn.
