With the right to request flexible working being extended to parents of children up to
the age of 16 years old, requests are set
to increase. Government also plans to raise awareness of employees' right
to ask for a flexible working arrangement.
At the same time, there are likely to be many more carers
and parents in the workforce
as a result of demographc and economic changes.
While the potential benefits of flexible working are well known,
less talked about are the difficulties it can cause.
EEF research shows that many companies are finding it difficult to manage the consequences
of agreeing to flexible working requests.
