Flexible Working

Flexible working overload

Gail Kenny from Gail Kenny Recruitment writes:

In today’s online, 24/7 age, flexible working has almost become the norm.

It cuts both ways – from an employee’s perspective there are many advantages of flexibility such as working from home on a day when you have a home deliver or maintenance due; the chance to watch your child at sports day; all sorts of things.

From the employer’s perspective, the flexible working often means getting far more from staff and managers, with people working remotely from home PCs, Blackberrys and laptops well past their standard contracted hours.

However, over the last bank holiday weekend, not once but twice did I see someone genuinely working from a laptop in a pub!

Surely this is one step too far! Maybe we should start campaigning for a hotspot ban in pubs!

What do you think?
