I think that a lot of employees will be happier with their work-life balance if they are allowed to continue working from home several days per week. Obviously, for the new intake of trainees, this will be all they have ever known. This will impact the economics of running expensive offices, and also 'hot-desking', for example, will you be able to keep an office or desk if you only come into work three days per week?

The logistics will need to be carefully thought through - for instance, will certain teams only come in on a Friday? Will the whole team then be expected to participate in social activities too?

And the burning question, what will happen to water cooler conversations and office romances? This may sound slightly flippant but the conversation and informal networking are really important in smooth-running offices. Also, some 15-20% of couples met their partner at work, so will this drop when those opportunities aren't there?
