Lord Alan Sugar said we need 'bums back into the office'

Lord Alan Sugar supports returning to the office, stating that younger workers prefer remote work, which he believes hinders learning and productivity. He, along with other business leaders like Lord Stuart Rose, argues that this shift has regressed workplace practices in the UK by 20 years. While acknowledging exceptions for roles needing flexibility, he emphasizes the importance of in-person interaction for apprentices and younger employees, suggesting that a return to the office would enhance professional development and overall productivity.

"I’m a great advocate of getting them back to work, because the only way an apprentice is going to learn is from his colleagues."

"We have regressed in this country in terms of working practices, productivity and in terms of the country's wellbeing, I think, by 20 years in the last four."
