 | "My advice to those who need, expect, or request a certain level of flexibility in today's world: be prepared for your own team and direct reports to potentially request the exact same level of flexibility as you. Many of us, regardless of how junior or senior we are, all have many of the same personal life responsibilities where flexibility can massively help (and take weight off our shoulders to be more productive in work), for example having elderly parents or children to care for." |
"In my opinion, offering work-from-home flexibility or any other form of flexible working increases trust, loyalty and engagement from employees. Companies can attract more talent by offering flexibility and can make job opportunities and offers to candidates more competitive with it. In addition, organisations that continue to provide options of flexibility also have the opportunity to diversify their workforce, as for example it allows single parents to manage work and childcare more easily." |  |
