Flexible working - is it working?

Abstract

This session will take a look at where the campaign for Work Life Balance has taken us over the last few years: new legislation, organisational initiatives, best practice and lip service. I will look at what really makes flexible working work - the barriers and the opportunities, with case studies. The flexible future.
