Changing work patterns help companies in the economic storm
11/10/2009
Faced by tough economic conditions, organisations have had to make difficult decisions to reduce operating costs. One of the striking features of this recession has been the commitment of organisations and their employees to work together, taking innovative steps to reduce labour costs and, wherever possible, save jobs.
Employers have taken, plan to take, or are considering, a wide variety of measures to reduce labour costs while saving jobs and retaining skilled employees. Increasing the use of flexible working can help employers to reduce working hours or make better use of existing staff resources, while benefitting employees by helping them balance work with their outside lives.
