Kilgannon and Partners Champion a New Era of Flexible Working


At Kilgannon and Partners, we are proud to support the movement towards more flexible working arrangements, as emphasised in the recent report by Pregnant Then Screwed . This groundbreaking report sheds light on the transformative impact flexible working can have on employees, employers, and society as a whole.   Why Flexible Working Matters The traditional 9-to-5 work model is evolving. Flexible working not only accommodates the diverse needs of today's workforce but also brings numerous benefits:
  • Enhances Employee Wellbeing: Flexibility allows individuals to balance professional responsibilities with personal commitments, reducing stress and burnout.
  • Promotes Gender Equality: By supporting flexible schedules, we can help close the gender pay gap and support working parents, particularly mothers returning to the workforce.
  • Boosts Productivity: Employees who have control over their work patterns often exhibit increased motivation and efficiency.
  • Attracts and Retains Talent: Offering flexible options makes companies more attractive to top talent seeking work-life balance.
  Our Approach to Flexible Working Kilgannon and Partners recognises the importance of adapting to the changing work landscape and has seen firsthand the benefits described above.   Join the Movement We encourage our clients, partners, and peers to read the full report by Pregnant Then Screwed here and consider how flexible working can benefit your teams and organisations.   Together, we can foster a more inclusive, productive, and happier workforce.
