Abstract
Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.
The second Flexible Working Employee Survey was carried out in January 2005, and was conducted by BMRB on behalf of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). By interviewing employees, the survey aimed to determine awareness of the new right to work flexibly that was introduced on 6 April 2003. It also aimed to note the number of people who had made a request to work flexibly under the new right, their reason for making the request, and whether their request had been accepted or not.
The first Flexible Working Employee Survey, conducted in 2003-2004, is held at the UK Data Archive (UKDA) under SN 5245.
Main Topics:
Topics covered include: awareness of flexible working rights; requests made to work flexibly; the nature of requests; whether requests were accepted or denied. The dataset also includes demographic characteristics of the respondent and household.
