One in four City employees wants to continue home-working full-time after the Covid-19 crisis, according to a poll by Accenture.

The consulting firm surveyed 1,406 UK-based workers in banking, capital markets and insurance in mid-June 2021, and found that 24% would prefer to work entirely from home once a full return to the office is possible post-pandemic.
