A couple of months ago the CEO of my company declared all roles should be flexible. We've had policies on flexible working for a number of years but usage was sporadic and very much depended on a “Leadership Lottery” - if you had a leader who "got it" then flex was just part of the day to day norms and no big deal.

I’ve just returned from a visit to London, where the newspapers continue to regale with stories about financial institutions failing their stakeholders - employees, customers, shareholders, communities and regulators.

All progressive companies have policies in place to enable flexible working. In Human Resources we tout the commercial benefits regularly but a mindset shift amongst management is the key to make it an everyday reality rather a big deal.
