New Blog: #BalanceforBetter: The Case and Choice of Flexible Working
What could a flexible workplace offer to its employees? Dr Miriam Marra discusses previous research on flexible working and working remotely.
From her research, Miriam has found that the probability of women in top management positions is higher if other women are also in those roles. She suggests this could also be applied to flexible working, leading to normalisation of flexible employees and better conditions.
Positive outcomes from flexible working can also include freeing up time to partake in diverse tasks or roles. Additionally, you can build resilience to deal with the workplace and personal circumstances.
Find out more about the research and suggested positive outcomes in the blog post.

Reflections on switching as a regulatory intervention
3 September 2018
In certain sectors - notably banking, energy and telecoms - customers are exhorted almost continuously to consider ‘switching’ supplier. Organisational structures have been developed to facilitate switching and the strategy of switching tends to be strongly supported by the regulator in those industries. For example, over 40 UK banks and building societies now participate in the ‘Current Account Switch Service’ run by the payment service, Bacs. In the energy sector, there is an ‘EnergySwitch guarantee’ and the regulator (Ofgem) provides advice on how to switch to a new supplier, as does Ofcom for the telecoms sector.
