New figures released by Opportunity Now back up recent research by Elan showing that, regardless of whether they work in permanent or contract positions, UK workers value flexibility in their roles.
In a poll carried out by YouGov, a remarkable 83% of UK employees said they would like more flexible working, believing that this would increase their productivity and decrease stress levels.
This figure is backed up by Elan's research, which revealed “flexibility about working hours” was the second highest priority for permanent workers (68%) and contract workers (60%) alike. Only "the stability of a permanent role" was ranked higher.
Thousands of UK workers took part in the poll, and a third suggested flexible working would increase productivity, and almost half that it would reduce stress – good for both the business and employees.
