It’s been two months since all UK employees gained the right to request flexible working. We talk to Tracey Eker, the founder of Flexiworkforce.com, the only job board in the UK that caters to candidates wishing to find full- and part-time flexible work, about what we need to do to turn Britain into a world which values productivity over presence.
What do we mean when we talk about flexible working?
Many people still equate the term “flexible working” with part-time work, but this idea is reductive, and in many cases, simply incorrect. People often confuse the two because traditionally, most jobs advertised have exclusively been for full-time or part-time positions. However, there is now a far greater variety of ways to work flexibly.

SCG Tip of the Day: Op-ed pieces and interviews like this one can be a great source for new ideas, but they often do not have statistical sources listed. Never base your case for workplace flexibility on statistics from unknown sources! Be sure to fact-check before presenting to colleagues. Chances are, they will want to know the source as well.
