Is your company flexible? Non?
1,9 workers are waiting for you...

Many organisations use flexible working as a retention tool or just because , due to legislation, they have to but they are really missing out on untapped potential.
There is a flexible labour market of around 1,9 million highly qualified workers that British employers are missing out on because they haven't got their flexible working practices in order.
Just 6,2% of quality jobs are advertised with the option to work flexible hours which is a deterrant to 47% of parents, older workers and disable candidates to name just a few.
Inserting the phrase "open to flexibility " into job adverts could fix this issue.
A study published by the American Sociological Association suggests that flexi-workers have higher level of job satisfaction, reduced levels of psychological stress and burnout and, consequently , are more productive and effective on the job.

It is not a favour or special treatment to an employee, it is just business sense.
