Flexible Working - UK
Flexible working opportunities benefit everyone: employers, employees and their families. Many employers know that it makes good business sense to provide flexible working opportunities for their staff. These employers know flexible working arrangements enable them: to retain skilled staff and reduce recruitment costs; to raise their staff morale and decrease absenteeism; and, to react to changing market conditions more effectively. They are open to considering requests to work an alternative working pattern and may have an established procedure for handling requests. For individuals, the opportunity to work flexibly can greatly improve their ability to balance home and work responsibilities.
