NatWest plans more office days for thousands of workers
NatWest plans to require most affected employees to work from the office at least two days a week from February 2027, ending its remote-first category.
NatWest plans this rule. It starts in February 2027.
Most affected staff will work there twice weekly. They now go twice monthly.
NatWest says flexible work remains important. It says office time helps teams.
Teams can share ideas there. They can build work ties.
They can learn together. NatWest will end its remote-first category.
Unite opposes the plan. It warns about travel costs.
It warns about childcare costs. Carers may lose flexible work.
Disabled workers may lose it too. Sharon Graham leads Unite.
Graham called it a “kick in the teeth”.
She wants NatWest to stop. She wants talks with staff.
