Flexible Working

The Law Gazette explains that having a job isn't about being at work, it's about doing work, actual work, not looking as though you ARE working.

It's all well in saying you arrive at work early and stay late, however how much work have you actually done in your working day, and how much web browsing have you done too? Only you truly know how hard you have worked.

The issue is productivity, not presence.

Spending more time with your family has long been a mother's desire, but The Law Gazette questions why men shouldn't also want to leave the office at 5pm having done a good days work.

The article questions whether our way of working is damaging us. Can smarter working lead to increased productivity it asks?

A South-East law firm has said that a flexible working culture benefits everyone in their workplace. They work with an attitude that it's OK to have time off to look after sick children and that being flexible is very important to keep the workforce happy.

The work smarter not harder point is good, the article says, as it explains how amazing it is that credit is given to staff who take nine hours instead of the four hours it should take to do the same amount of work.
