Reasoning Many businesses now recognise that there are wide-ranging benefits to be gained from offering their workforce flexible working arrangements. These arrangements can include being able to work from home, job sharing, part time working and being able to choose when to complete agreed hours, for example through working fewer but longer days, or working flexitime. Employees able to adopt flexible working are better able to balance work and family commitments and are therefore happier at work, experiencing greater job satisfaction. They are also more motivated and less likely to leave. For businesses, they reap the benefits through productivity increases, and greater cost-effectiveness. Staff recruitment costs are not insignificant to businesses. Customers can benefit too as businesses are better able to react quickly to changes in the market. All employees now have a statutory right to request flexible working arrangements. The law extends as far as insisting employers consider and respond to these requests within a predefined timescale.
