Flexible Working: If you don't ask you don't get

The second annual survey from jobsite Workingmums.co.uk has found that women who ask about flexible working before they go on maternity leave are likely to get it.  However, a large percentage of women are still not making that request.
 
The survey of over 1,100 respondents found that:

• 57% of mothers who discussed the possibility of flexible working either got what they wanted or were able to reach a compromise with their employers
• 70% of these mothers felt that their job ranged from flexible to extremely flexible
