'Microshifting' | 1 in 3 managers quietly allow their staff to work from home

A third (33%) of UK managers admit to having ‘covert’ flexible working agreements with their team members, according to new research.

The findings from global talent solutions provider Robert Walters suggest a growing disconnect between formal workplace policies and the day-to-day realities of how teams actually operate, as organisations continue to push for greater office attendance.

Only 35% of UK workers believe their employer’s current flexible working policy is fit for purpose, highlighting widespread dissatisfaction with existing approaches.
