ABSTRACT

I’m often asked questions at conferences and workshops about where the evidence is that flexible working is more productive. There is quite a lot of evidence now to show that flexible working is more productive. But I’m not going to overdo the evangelist role here, because I don’t believe that flexible work is necessarily more productive. What I think is true is that the greater choices of work times and locations enabled by Smart Flexibility create the conditions where people can be more productive. And as long as it’s well managed and the people are well motivated, it should be.
