New flexible season tickets will be available to reflect modern working practices 23 June 2021 The Department for Transport has confirmed that a new selection of flexible rail season tickets will be made available to compliment the new hybrid working approach that many employees will be adopting as coronavirus restrictions begin to ease. In addition to this, an online ‘season ticket calculator’ will be launched to help commuters in establishing the cheapest option that is available to them. This will be based on their journeys, working pattern and also on their individual needs. There has been a decline in the use of the traditional season ticket, as many businesses are now allowing staff to alter their traditional working patterns, and to spread their time between working from home and working out of the office - a practice which has been accelerated due to the pandemic.
CIPP comment
The Policy team are interested in hearing how the pandemic has altered the way you have worked over the course of the past year, and if it will affect how you work in the future. Are you expecting to return to the office or your place of work full time? Will you continue to spend all your time working remotely? Will you be spending some time working from home, and some time working at the office? Please contact the team at Policy@cipp.org.uk.
