Today I sat down with Rich Hanrahan, Co Founder of RPNA, who helps leaders develop high performing teams, lead more effectively and create unstoppable momentum.

We discussed the problem, around the war for talent - how to attract and retain the best people.

One of the key levers that councils can utilise is flexible working arrangements. Rich talked through how we can make flexibility work for employer and employee.

Our conversations answers the following questions:

• What do we mean by flexibility in employment?
• What’s happening right now in terms of attitudes to flexible working?
• How does flexibility sit in today’s world of work?
• So where are we today?
• And what is the benefit to employees
• How does this impact the employee / employer relationship?
• And are there benefits to employee / employer relationship of introducing greater flexibility?
• So what should we be thinking about when it comes to flexibility?
• What gets in the way of introducing flexibility?
• SO how should we consider and approach introducing more flexibility?
