Recruitment agency formation advice: Flexible working demand increasing
Total Back Office Solutions can give you recruitment agency formation advice
People who have set up a recruitment agency may want to embrace flexible working in order to respond to a growing demand for it among workers.
The government plans to introduce legislation requiring companies to offer flexible working to all employees and research from Hays shows more than half of employers (55 per cent) are in favour of the proposals.
However, nearly half of all workers (46 per cent) claim their current employer does not encourage flexible working and this figure increases to more than half in the private sector.
Reacting to the revelations, Stephen Overell, associate director for The Work Foundation, stated that both employees and employers stand to benefit from flexible working arrangements.
"Employers have changed quite quickly over the last few years and flexible working is really not that old," he explained.
"In the future we will see much more adoption of flexible working and many more different forms of flexible working. So it is no surprise that people want more of it."
