Flexible working report
The report ‘Tasks not Time’ written by the Research Base gives an excellent overview of the barriers for employers and returning mothers in the work place. It highlights the concern that society is suffering as a result of 29% of professional working women down grading their job when returning to the workplace because of the lack of senior part time positions. 86% of women feel that the availability of jobs prevents them from returning to the work place.
Managers also have an important role to play to support returners. 77% of women feel that greater understanding from their manager would help their return.

Do you think research on men working flexibly should be done?
