News • Online portal launched to help employers set up flexible working schemes
From Equality South West
The Anywhere Working Consortium has launched its online portal to help UK organisations adopt more flexible working practices.
The portal will serve as a resource for employers and employees alike, offering training, guidance, case studies and product offers from the consortium, whose members include Business in the Community (BITC), Microsoft, Nokia, Nuffield, Regus and Vodafone UK. The initiative is supported by the Department for Transport (DfT), Transport for London (TfL) and the Trades Union Congress (TUC).
The portal is the first step by the consortium in delivering tools and advice that will help British organisations understand the benefits of flexible working. Through its efforts, the consortium will drive awareness in the build up to Anywhere Working Week, commencing 27 February, 2012. During this week, the consortium will provide additional guidance to organisations seeking to learn more about flexible working, as well as celebrate those that have actively supported the initiative.
