NINE-TO-FIVE DECLINE

In brief

Most companies (95%) offer some sort of flexible working for staff, the latest Work-Life Balance Employer Survey, commissioned by the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform, shows. The number of workplaces providing childcare facilities, or other arrangements to help parents combine work with family commitments, has more than doubled since 2003, from 8% to 18%. The survey also found that employers offering reduced hours working has increased from 40% to 74% since 2003 and the availability of job sharing and flexi hours has also increased substantially.
