Flexible Working and Work-Life Balance
The Government is committed to encouraging the
growth of flexible working and other work-life balance policies in the UK. These
can benefit everyone:
- employers - many say that they have benefited
from pursuing such policies
- employees - are able to better balance their
family responsibilities with work
The Government's approach has been to raise
awareness of best practice and share experience of different companies'
practices combined with targeted and light-touch legislation.
