Technology vital to flexible working

The decision to extend the right to ask for flexible working conditions to parents with children under the age of 16 could lead to an extra 4.5 million workers requesting it.

This means that having a flexible working policy along with the right technology will be crucial to businesses if a significant number of those legible take up the legal right.

According to a Trade Union Congress spokesman, flexible working is not only important in allowing individuals to enjoy a better work-life balance, but research has shown it enables businesses to operate more effectively.

A recent online survey of 255 UK IT managers from firms with 10 to 250 employees by BSkyB subsidiary Easynet Connect, produced figures showing that 75 per cent of firms are trying to reduce costs by adopting remote working. 

However, even when flexible working policies are established, not having the right technology in place can undermine these initiatives, so it’s imperative that companies update their systems to cater for these changes.
