Perhaps a little melodramatic but now that the clocks have gone back and suddenly it’s dark when most of your employees leave work. Employers are being urged to think about giving opportunities to help their staff escape the misery of the dark (often damp) journey home. The National Commute Smart Week run by Work Wise UK, wants companies to offer flexible hours and homeworking to staff (I know I’d jump at the chance!!).

In the Queen’s Speech, the government said that it wants to extend the right to flexible working to all parents in Britain in a move designed to improve the country’s work-life balance.
Aimed at assisting parents with children up to their teens, this flexible working initiative would aid thousands of parents who struggle with the constraints of a full time role while trying to be a good parent.
The change was hailed as a great move but many business leaders responded in a subdued manor. The feasibility of this is ok for larger multinational businesses, for smaller SME’s though the burden could cause them havoc.
