Male employees are just as likely to want flexible working hours as female employees according to a new study by consultancy, Timewise. 80% of male employees would like more flexibility over working hours whereas 90% of all workers are against the traditional 9 to 5 work tradition. Flexible working has been shown to allow a more balanced lifestyle and in some studies, more productive workers. The Office of National Statistics agrees with the findings and found in its own study that 1 in 10 Britons feel that they are overemployed, doing more hours than they want. The studies have found that young people are more supportive of flexible working.
