A survey of more than 2,000 workers and 503 hiring managers commissioned by LinkedIn found that 21% of women feel their career progression has been negatively impacted by a lack of flexible working, while 25% have taken a career break as a result.
This is despite 80% of hiring managers stating that they have offered staff greater flexibility since the pandemic hit. Seventy-three per cent of hiring managers believe that employees are largely satisfied with their organisation’s flexible working policies and 78% think they offer enough flexibility to balance work and personal commitments.
