I run a small business and I can afford all these employee rights – how can I avoid giving people flexible working options?
If flexible working is really impossible to implement, will cost too much or will be bad for business then you are not forced to introduce it. However other people’s experience is that flexible workers are more productive, have less absenteeism and are more loyal than other workers. So flexible working is likely to be good for business and should be seen as a way of making the best use of human resources and not an imposed employee right.
