Its ‘The 2019 Flexible Working Survey’, finds that in organisations where flexible working isn’t allowed, almost 15% of employees are seriously considering moving to a more flexible organisation, with another 42% likely to have their heads turned should a more flexible role come along.

- 39% of employees says flexible working is very important to them, with a further 30% saying it’s essential
