Our research explores how current flexible and hybrid working practices are impacting performance, employee engagement and wellbeing
This report explores the current state of flexible and hybrid working practices in the UK more than a year on from the implementation of the Employment Relations (Flexible Working) Act 2023. Amid global uncertainties, economic headwinds and a raft of employment law changes that employers must grapple with, we examine both employer and employee perspectives to see how trends in flexible and hybrid working are shaping and impacting performance, employee engagement and wellbeing among other important organisational outcomes.
The report builds on previous CIPD survey findings and provides organisations and policy-makers with an understanding of the implications as well as recommendations on both practical actions and strategic considerations.
While these findings are based on UK data, the broader trends and implications should be of interest wherever you are based.
