Flexible Working – What Value Can It Add To Your Company?

Share

Every year, over half a million people in the UK form a company. Once all the hard work they invest initially begins to pay off and their business starts to grow, they start taking on employees.
Regardless of all the HR involved in becoming an employer, one of the main challenges many entrepreneurs face is finding the right people and keeping them. That is where the concept of ‘flexible working’ comes in. But is it more than just a marketing term and can it add any real value to your company?
When it is implemented correctly, flexible working means more than just a laptop, PDA and a Blackberry. It can mean flexi-time, working from home and job sharing and it can be a vital part of your staff incentive strategy.
If you show flexibility as an employer, not only are you more likely to retain important members of your team, you will also have a more focused and positive workforce.
