Flexible working is increasingly popular with UK workers

Around three quarters of UK employees claim that flexible working benefits would make a job more appealing, and in fact nearly a third would prefer flexible working to a pay rise, a recent market research has been able to suggest.

The report from Powwownow points out that the number of employees favouring flexible working is on the rise – up to 75 per cent from 70 per cent in 2017.

The increased demand for flexible working could be due to people feeling time-poor – 42 per cent of people feel they don’t have enough time in the week to dedicate to their hobbies, or spend with friends and family.

Another interesting finding is that the approach to flexible working differs by gender, with 81 per cent of women saying that flexible working would make a job more appealing, and 45 per cent saying they would “strongly prefer” a job with flexible working – compared to 69 per cent of men saying they would view employers offering flexible working more favourably.

Millennial workers are also more likely to want to work flexibly, with 70 per cent citing it on their wish list, compared to only 47 per cent of over 55s.
