Andy Sumner, Managing Director for Monster UK & Ireland, commented; “The need for employers to have a flexible working scheme is more important now than it has ever been. Flexible working has many advantages over traditional office hours and employers must ensure that they’re communicating these advantages to their employees and having an open and honest discussion about ways it can benefit both parties.
Flexible working schemes allow employees to develop a good work-life balance and can help to make the most of today’s diverse workforce. They can enhance job satisfaction, productivity and create a much less stressed workforce allowing employers to get the most out of staff.”
