Businesses embracing flexible working

The annual State of HR Survey makes interesting reading, obtaining feedback from 350 organisations with a combined workforce of more than 1.1 million employees.

 

One of the biggest findings was that employers have embraced flexible and part-time working in a way never seen before.

According to the survey, 38% of respondents reported an increase in the use of flexible working and 21% an increase in part-time working.

 

The general consensus is that employers are starting to use flexible and part-time working to maintain key skills, preserve jobs and avoid redundancies.

 

This must be seen as a positive message, as employers should now view flexible working as a positive and valuable part of their workforce strategy. Those regarding it less positively may find it impossible to avoid, as they’ll find it difficult to reject requests from employees going forward.

 

On the back of this survey the overall result for organisations is that there’s likely to be a lasting increase in flexible and part-time working.
