Reviews

We all want happier, healthier and more productive working lives and two-way flexibility is a key part of the answer. A driving force in this book is the compelling argument around how we make flexible working work to give workers more control over where and how they work. This is essential reading for anyone who wants to build better, fairer and more humane workplaces . - Frances O'Grady, General Secretary, TUC. Disruptive changes in the nature of work and of working life have far reaching implications for human and economic health and wellbeing across society. This book provides essential foundations for wise and well-informed discussions to guide the actions now necessary. - Professor Dame Carol Black, Advisor on Health and Work to Public Health England and UK National Health Service Improvement.
