A new proposal from the government will offer workers the right to request flexible working when they start new jobs. The plan provides for all U.K. workers to ask for a flexible arrangement on their first day of work. Companies, according to the proposed act, will be obligated to respond promptly.
Statistics showed that over 30% of requests for flexible arrangements were turned down in the past. Many people, especially working mothers, are believed to not have submitted requests, feeling that they would be denied. They were also concerned that by simply asking, it could be viewed by their bosses that they weren’t serious about their jobs and would result in adverse consequences.
Deputy leader of the Labour Party, Angela Rayner, said, “Labour will give workers the right to flexible working—not just the right to request it—and give all workers full rights from day one on the job.” Rayner added, “The ‘new normal’ after this pandemic must mean a new deal for all working people based on flexibility, security and strengthened rights at work.”
This is another example of how our mindset toward work has changed. The idea of being chained to a cubicle for eight-plus hours a day, five days a week now looks archaic. Four-day workweeks, six-hour workdays, flexible staggered hours, mental health days off, closing the office for a week, in an effort to stem burnout, and other worker-friendly initiatives are all on the table for discussions.
