Flexible Work

Many people, especially women, find it hard to balance work with caring for family and others.

Flexibility in work is important for both men and women, as it challenges traditional gender roles. Flexible work options help people manage both work and caregiving while staying employed. These arrangements benefit both employees and employers, improving business practices, innovation, and accountability.

Flexible work can include options like working from home, adjusting hours, working longer days for shorter weeks, or split shifts.
