Flexible Working
Making the most of new ways of working
Whether you know it as e-working, teleworking, flexible working, or remote working, enabling employees to be able to work away from the office is becoming a growing necessity for many UK businesses.
What is flexible working?
Flexible working is having the means to work from a location other than the office, whether it's at home or in a remote location such as a telecentre. Advances in technology have enabled employees working away from the office to have access to email, company files, the intranet and the internet.
