Pros and cons of flexible working

Karen Bartlett in TimesOnline talked to a number of people with contrasting experiences of flexible working.

 

For one woman, working school hours suited her and allowed her boss to reduce costs without losing anyone from the team. The feature also cites the case of digger manufacturer JCB, who offered its workforce a four-day week rather than redundancy.
