Millions of people struggle to find the time over the festive season and none more so than working mums. During a time of year when the majority of people have to work full time hours, often twiddling their thumbs because there is very little business happening, working mums are required to take holiday to look after their children. Flexible working would provide the perfect solution at a time of year when some goodwill wouldn’t go a miss! Not enough businesses offer flexible working at times of the year when shift work amongst existing staff would provide an effective enough service.
