Agile working is a growing trend. It does not suit all businesses but all should understand it if they want to remain competitive. This book provides a guide to employers. It outlines the practical implications involved as well as the overall business benefits. It also takes a frank look at where it's not suitable. Desk research is complemented by new quantitative and qualitative research with contributions from experts and those who have experienced agile working. We are grateful to all our contributors.
