Flexible Work - Still our future
Flexible Work – Still our future.
Thursday 27th November 2025 | 9:00am–2:00pm | Virtual
Workplace flexibility continues to evolve - and not always in the same direction. While some organisations are embedding new approaches to flexibility, others are stepping back with return-to-office mandates. Against this backdrop, one thing is clear: flexible work remains a defining feature of the future of work.
This Summit brings together diverse perspectives on what flexibility really means today and where it is heading. We’ll explore:
- Demographics and equity – why flexibility is critical for an ageing workforce and for advancing gender equity.
- Balanced practice – how employers can navigate remote and hybrid models without losing cohesion or productivity.
- Front-line flexibility – what flexibility looks like outside the office, and how it can support customer-facing and essential roles.
- Business realities – the case for flexible work from a small business perspective, including the 4-day week and navigating employment law.
- Evidence and research – what academic insights tell us about the impacts of flexible work across multiple stakeholders.
- Macro lens – an economist’s view on the broader economic impacts of flexible work.
The programme offers more than case studies - it presents a holistic, multi-stakeholder view of flexible work arrangements. Attendees will gain clarity on why flexibility matters, how it is being applied across sectors, and what employers should consider when shaping their future workforce practices.
Joining us is an incredible group of leaders, each bringing unique expertise and perspectives to the discussion.
This Summit brings together leading voices from research, business, and practice to explore why flexibility matters, how it is being applied, and what the wider impacts are for employers, employees, and the economy.
Join us on 27 November to take part in a timely and balanced conversation about the role of flexible work in building resilient, equitable, and future-ready workplaces.
Programme timing to come.
