Synopsis

Make hybrid and remote working actually work legally, practically and sustainably.

Managing Remote and Hybrid Working is a straight-talking guide for HR professionals, people managers and business owners who need to get flexible working right, without wading through dense legislation.

Drawing on 25 years’ experience as a leading UK employment law barrister, Daniel Barnett explains the law in plain English and shows you how to design hybrid and remote arrangements that are fair, compliant and commercially sound.:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

You’ll learn how to move beyond ad-hoc “WFH Fridays” and build a robust framework that covers contracts, policies, health & safety, performance, culture and consultation, including the latest changes under the Employment Relations (Flexible Working) Act 2023 and the Employment Rights Act 2025.:contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Inside, you’ll discover how to:

  • Draft hybrid-ready contracts and policies that clearly set out place of work, hours, expenses, confidentiality, monitoring, data protection and restrictive covenants, for new hires and existing staff moving to hybrid roles.
  • Handle flexible working requests lawfully with step-by-step guidance on consultation, “reasonableness”, refusals, appeals and the new automatic unfair dismissal risks around changing core terms.
  • Meet your health, safety and wellbeing duties for home and hybrid workers, including risk assessments, DSE, lone working, stress and mental health, and practical ways to ensure safe home setups without becoming the “laptop police”.
  • Manage performance by outcomes, not presence using SMART objectives, fair monitoring, capability procedures and remote hearings that comply with the Acas Code.
  • Protect confidentiality and data security with clear rules on printing, home storage, cloud use, phishing risks, BYOD and AI-driven tools.
  • Maintain engagement and culture through intentional communication rhythms, hybrid meetings that don’t sideline remote staff, and strategies to prevent burnout and “always-on” working.
  • Handle grievances, misconduct and redundancies remotely, from companions at online hearings to collecting evidence, suspensions, confidentiality and collective consultation.

Tools you can copy, paste and use today:

  • Remote & hybrid working legal compliance checklist
  • Lone working risk-assessment template
  • Model homeworking policy and practical case studies from major employers
