We know many employers want to help their employees to navigate the cost of living crisis; providing more good quality flexible jobs is a key way to do so. Read more here. timewise.co.uk/article/in-thi…

Proud to have been commissioned by NHS England and We Are NHS People 💙 to help tackle the staffing crisis through flexible working. Read about our NHS Flex for the Future programme, working with change teams from 93 NHS orgs. timewise.co.uk/article/nhs-fl… #NHSflexforthefuture

We asked some business leaders with a well-being remit to join our panel, discussing how employers can support employee well-being at this challenging time. Flexible working is key; more insights and actions here.

Employers who are struggling to fill vacancies take note – there’s a pool of older workers who might be persuaded to offer you their experience and expertise, if you offer them #flexibleworking.

We’re working with the Institute for Employment Studies and three trailblazing employers to explore the benefits to employees and organisations of making flexible working available to all. More here.

BREAKING: Our 2022 #FlexibleJobsIndex is out - analysis of 6m UK job ads to find the portion offering part-time & flexible work 📈 1m+ UK vacancies sit unfilled - most, full-time. Meanwhile 4 people are chasing every part-time job. bit.ly/33Rk5jH ⁦Nicola Smith⁩

Thanks to backing Josefina R., we have been able to explore why employers don’t often include flexible options in job ads. bit.ly/3u9TMSN 
 Do employers simply not like flex? NOT TRUE. 
 They just don't think it needs to be discussed 'til the person has been hired.

'A minority' of jobs are advertised as flex, in spite of high demand & labour shortages. We were proud to work with Timewise on this Joseph Rowntree Foundation backed research investigating why & pinpointing the social good of re-balancing the market bit.ly/3u9TMSN #FlexibleJobsIndex

A lack of openly advertised flexible jobs puts parents, older workers & disabled people at real disadvantage. New analysis with Timewise Institute for Employment Studies shows 521,000 people from these groups are either out of work or in part-time roles beneath their true earning potential.

'You've got to be bold in making the request to consider it' New stats from Timewise show that the number of people seeking part-time work outstrips jobs available by 4:1. So how can you ask for a part time or job share opportunity? Emma Stewart discusses ⬇️

In spite of Covid, advanced use of remote tech & a shift in working culture - just 3 in 10 jobs ever include flex options when advertised. Why so important? See blog by Timewise's new Head of Innovation & Development Nicola Smith bit.ly/3OHmzay #FlexibleJobsIndex

Employers want to support people through the current crisis; offering good quality part-time and flex jobs is a key way to do so, but they need support. Read my colleague Emma Stewart on what needs to happen.
