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.
