Webinar | The Evolution of Flexible Work: Where do we go from here?

Written by Professor Clare Kelliher | 07/03/23 14:37
The evolution of flexible working has continued apace after the pandemic. With a host of benefits from improved job satisfaction and work/ life balance for employees, to higher productivity, talent acquisition and retention for employers, the drivers behind the trend are clear and here to stay.

 


This marks a vast shift in attitude towards flexible working and career design, with flexible working arrangements now the expectation rather than the exception.

What are the implications for managers and leaders today as they manage flexible teams and lead organisations toward a culture of high-performing, inclusive and equitable flexible work?

In this webinar IEDP hosts two of the UK’s leading authorities on flexible working, Professor Clare Kelliher and Sarah Jackson from the Cranfield School of Management, for a research-based look at the state of flexible working practices and to ask; where do we go from here?
