Flexible working makes good business sense. If implemented well, it can boost the attraction, retention, progression, and well-being of people.
Flexible Working Guidance
As part of the Government's Flexible Working Taskforce, we’re joining Working Families to ask employers to use the Happy to Talk Flexible Working strapline and logo when recruiting.
Champion Flexible Working
As a leader you should embrace Flexible Working - flexible working is good for people, for business, and for the economy. Even small degrees of flexibility increase your chances of attracting and retaining a diverse talent pool.
