Jonathan Swan, research and policy manager at Working Families, explained there are numerous advantages to flexible working. Employees that can work hours suited to them, on a flexitime basis or from home, may prove to be more productive, as he noted they have an inclination to be happier and more devoted to their employers. "People are more likely to choose to work for an employer that offers flexible working than one that doesn't," stated Mr Swan.
He went on to propose that in addition to increased productivity, businesses that offer home working and other flexible options will also see better performance and more loyalty from their staff.
