For some reason there is still the few held that part time or flexible work is not 100% serious or committed. This view is changing because it is becoming more and more obvious that it does make sense - in fact it makes more sense than full time for certain jobs or tasks (it was obvious to many of us before!).

An article in the Irish Times recently made some very good points:

The article outlines a report by Cranford School of Management and a British charity, Working Families. It found a positive relationship between flexible working practices and employee performance. "These findings are important because they show both performance-related and longer-term benefits from flexible working" said Report co-author and strategic human resource management specialist, Dr Clare Kelliher". The article finishes with the line: "Flexibility seems to run both ways: a flexible workforce will also demand flexible organisations and employment patterns".

This is exactly the raison d'etre for Flexitimers.com.

Flexibilty makes sense and helps employers maintain or increase productivity, increase loyalty, retain good employees and reduce the payroll bill. Who can argue with that??
