Flexible working refers to a way of working that allows employees to have greater control over their work patterns and schedules, often by using technology to enable them to work remotely or at different times. It can include flexible start and finish times, homeworking, job sharing, compressed hours, and other arrangements that allow for more flexibility in how, when and where an employee carries out their duties. The aim of such arrangements is often to improve the work-life balance of employees while also increasing productivity and efficiency within a business.
