LONDON, Oct 12 (Reuters) - Banks must apply the same
standards of surveillance and conduct to staff working from home
or in the office during the pandemic and in future as working
practices inevitably change, Britain's Financial Conduct
Authority said on Monday.
"We will also have to navigate a huge amount of change over
coming months ... that will no doubt include both hybrid ways of
working and, over time, potential long-term changes to the way
that we all work," Julia Hoggett, the FCA's director for market
oversight said.
"Our expectation is that, going forward, office and
people-working-from-home arrangements should be equivalent," she
told a City & Financial online event.
