Last year, 923 Jobs launched the UK’s first ever National Flexible Working Day. 12 months on, and we’re delighted to be celebrating our favourite day of flex this Thursday, 12 September. We’ll be running a fantastic TweetChat at 12.30pm that’s jam packed with:
Flexible working advice.

Each day this week, across our social media platforms, look out for some star stats, facts and top line information about how advantageous flexible working is for small/medium/big business. And the benefits are truly universal: parents, carers, grandparents, those with disabilities, graduates, young professionals…working flexibly has a transformative effect on us all.
