The benefits
We asked and you outlined the
benefits agile working would bring:
Enhanced job
satisfaction
Better health
Decreased chance of
burnout
Improved work life
balance
Adaptability and
openness
Greater access to the
job market
Diversity and
collaboration
Increased motivation
and productivity
Those working flexibly are shown to
have a higher level of job satisfaction
compared to those who do not work
flexibly.
Flexible working allows employees to
manage disability and long-term health
conditions and can support mental
health and reduce stress.
Flexible working can reduce job-life spill
over, particularly for entry-level roles.
Flexible working arrangements can help
people balance their work with other life
priorities, whether it's moving house,
starting a family or taking on caring
responsibilities.
Employees of organisations that offer
flexible working arrangements tend to
find themselves in a more agile,
responsive culture that is open to new
ideas and concepts.
Roles allowing for flexible working can
offer previously unavailable options and
opportunities to people.
Different flexible working arrangements
can help bring different people together
and create opportunities to collaborate.
Better control of hours worked alongside
the wellbeing benefits, can deliver increased
motivation. Some arrangements can allow
employees to align working with when and
where they are at their most productive.
