Recent years have seen major demographic changes in the workplace with more women, single parents, dual-earning families and employees with caring responsibilities forming part of the workforce. To accommodate the needs of these groups, and maximise the potential of this talent pool, flexible arrangements are crucial when considering how much time is worked, as well as when and where work is done.
Flexible working brings obvious benefits for employees; however it also benefits the organisation. Specifically it:
- Helps to make it an employer of choice
- Attracts a wider pool of job applicants
- Helps to retain good people
- Lowers stress
- Reduces absence levels
