Research on flexible working trends in the UK. Why are companies reverting to old models

My role as researcher:
I gather, analyse and synthesise data from both academic and industry sources—interviews, surveys, reports, news—to map out what the trends are, what drives them, what are the consequences, and where there are gaps in understanding. I try to bring together quantitative (stats, percentages) and qualitative (experiences, perspectives) evidence so we can understand why things are shifting, not just that they are shifting.
