Working Better: The managers’ guide to flexible working includes a step-by-step process for managers of small and large companies to implement effective flexible working practices, and features examples from companies such as BT, Sainsbury’s, National Grid and IBM.

Trevor Phillips, chairman of the EHRC, said: “Flexibility is a tool many British businesses use to attract and retain quality staff. Flexible working makes good business sense, not only in maximising productivity but by providing a powerful tool to respond to customer needs.”
