Flexible working 'has many advantages'

There are many benefits to a company adopting flexible working opportunities into their workplace, one expert has attested.

Shirley Borrett, development director at the Telework Association, believes that the past few years have shown that "employers gain enormously from having a flexible, home-based workforce".

This is because the benefits range from those which help the business itself to others which establishes positives for the surrounding society and environment.

Furthermore, Ms Borrett explained that flexible working can also make it easier for those with a disability, who would otherwise find it difficult to commute on a daily basis.

"Offering flexible and home-based working is a way of recruiting people who don't want to work in a conventional office environment," the expert went on to note.

These views come soon after Dr Clare Kelliher, senior lecturer in strategic human resource management at Cranfield School of Management, acknowledged that business flexibility and new technology is creating a larger blur between a person's home life and their working agenda.
