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.

Find out more about the research and suggested positive outcomes in the blog post.
