I came across an article about Vodafone empowering West Berkshire Council employees to work flexibly.
Apart from the obvious benefits of lower costs to run an organisation and increased employee satisfaction from better life work balance, I love the idea employees no longer have to ‘follow’ the corporation because the corporation can now ‘follow’ the employee.
So the days of relocating your home, family and life to bring your skills and experiences to an organisation might be numbered?
With flexible working it’s not that far fetched for me to live by the sea and work for an organisation located inland?
I love the idea of flexible working but my parents struggle with the concept, my grandparents think it’s simply wrong but my kids, well they see it as the way things are.
I wonder if I should start looking for that seaside house just yet?
Hmmm – just a thought.
