CBI survey sees Flexible Working as way forward in recession ...
According to the CBI the recession has dramatically changed the way organisations are now operating.
The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) in a survey found almost that over 60% of employers have made or are considering making significant changes to working hours in an effort to cut costs and to avoid making more staff redundant.
Accoring to John Cridland, the deputy director-general of the CBI "The UK's flexible labour market has proved a huge asset during these testing times, and flexible working changes have enabled employers and staff to create leeway on working hours.
"While pay and recruitment freezes should disappear as the economy recovers, the spirit of flexibility and the willingness of many staff to engage positively with employers on these issues will hopefully be a more permanent benefit of the UK economy."
Flexible working has become more popular in the downturn as firms cut hours and overtime, with 45 per cent of employees increasing flexible working among staff, while 43 per cent have reduced paid overtime.
