EP257: Cracking The Flexible Working Conundrum - Digital Leaders on Balancing Employee & Company Needs

  • Summary

  • Flexible working is a hot topic. Amazon is the latest company to stir up debate around the virtues of giving employees the best possible work/life balance.

    A CBI Employment Trends survey found that 99% of all businesses surveyed believe that a flexible workforce is vital or important to competitiveness. BUT...

    Flexibility means different things to different people e.g. working around school runs, being able to work from home, starting later and finishing later, not having to take annual leave for appointments etc.

    And you need to consider diversity and inclusivity.... it's not as easy as it looks!

    We borrowed a quote from Sara Russell, Marketing Director at 5874 Commerce to kick start our debate:

    “So does the eCommerce industry need flexible working? If we want to attract and retain top talent, keep our teams engaged and provide top-level customer satisfaction then yes we do.”

    Tune in to listen to different approaches from three highly respected digital leaders: Ross Allsop, Director of Growth at PANGAIA, Dan Partridge, CEO at leading Shopify partner Swanky (Shopify Plus Agency) and Paul Rogers, MD at award winning digital agency Vervaunt.
