THE 9-2-3 JOBS BLOG
Setting Flexible Work Boundaries
Whatever your working pattern of choice – part time work, remote work, compressed hours – there’s no question that flexible working has made a huge difference to our lives. Forget Biff, Chip and Kipper - for millions of us, flexibility has been the magic key to unlocking a better work-life balance. It’s enabled us to cheer on our kids at sports days. To provide a listening ear for elderly relatives. To volunteer in our communities. For some of us, flexible working is what makes our worlds go around.
#generationflex - A graduate's perspective on the need for flexible working
“Having the freedom to work flexibly and being able to dictate your own hours creates a two-way relationship of trust. Personally, for me it creates a greater sense of company loyalty as it demonstrates a high level of trust from your employer, helping make myself as a recent graduate feel valued.”
FLEX, TRUST and UNLIMITED ANNUAL LEAVE
Flexible working means different things to different people. At 9-2-3, we believe that flexible working means anything that’s not 9-5 in an office. In fact, here at 9-2-3, we’re aiming to disrupt that old-fashioned 9-5 concept, and promote flexible working for everyone. The technology is here to enable us all to work at different times and from different places.
#dadsflextoo - A blog by Patrick Alleyne
My name is Patrick Alleyne and I am not a stay at home dad but very much employed in a busy and demanding role. I work flexibly but not for family/caring reasons unless caring for yourself and looking after your own wellbeing counts? I work for London regional government and my organisation is hugely supporting of flexible working.
#dadsflextoo - A blog by Phil Farr
Hi, my name's Phil and I work as a Senior Project Officer for the Greater London Authority and have done for 20 years. Yes, really! I have a partner and a lovely daughter who is 7. We live in the Home Counties and due to being able to work flexibly, I am able to balance the commute to work in London with some work from home days and this suits me because I can be there to do the school run and take my daughter to after-school activities.
