When things didn't go quite right, my grandmother has a saying: "it's been a funny old day". Well, for many people, 2022 has been a funny old year. But what does 2023 have in store? Here are my tips for the major workplace trends in the coming year.

The demand for flexible and hybrid working isn't going away. Yes, there are high-profile examples of organizations that demand that employees return to the office; I'm writing this in the week after Elon Musk scrapped Twitter's work from home policy.
