REC launches Flexible Work Commission

The Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) has launched the Flexible Work Commission, a new group of experts that aims to drive practical recommendations to government and business on re-energising the country's flexible labour market.

One of the aims of the group is to encourage flexible working patterns to bring in the right skills and enhance productivity across the country.

The commission is chaired by David Frost, former director general of the British Chambers of Commerce, and brings together business leaders from both large and small companies, recruiters, academics and think tanks.

Mr Frost said it will explore how Britain can not only make the most of current flexibility, but expand it further to ensure "maximum benefit" for both employers and workers.

"Our flexible labour market is seen as one of the UK's major competitive advantages. Quantifying the benefits to business and workers and identifying ways of enhancing this flexibility are the core aims of the commission," he added.
