4:22Now PlayingWorking from home is creating a generation who are "not doing proper work", the former boss of UK supermarket Asda has warned.
Lord Rose told BBC Panorama that home working was part of the UK economy's "general decline" and employees' productivity was suffering.
His comments come as some companies are calling time on remote working. Amazon, Boots and JP Morgan are just some of the businesses who now require their head office staff to be in every day.
However, work-from-home expert Prof Nicholas Bloom said that while fully remote work can be "quite damaging" to some workers' productivity, spending three days out of five in the office was as productive as fully office-based work overall.
