Insights into What’s Shaping Flexible Working

In 1926, Henry Ford became one of the first employers to adopt a five-day, 40-hour week based on on-site work. Almost 100 years later, this norm was disrupted by the requirement to work from home during the global pandemic.

That period proved that employees could work effectively away from the office, and on any device. Since then, employees and employers have been in a period of test-and-learn in order to reinvent the working week for the future. To find out what’s shaping flexible working norms in a post-pandemic world, we carried out interviews with senior leaders throughout 2022, and in the first quarter of 2023. In this report, we distil best practices and advice in these areas.
