Good to see @beisgovuk response to #TaylorReview #GoodWorkPlan will measure quality work. But we won’t have much to measure until we better understand how to design work with genuine two way flexibility for workers and employers. #TimewiseInnovationUnit

New @CBItweets report highlighting skills shortages major concern for uk businesses. 54% doing more to extend flexible working for employees. But offering flex at point of hire can help attract great talent as well as retain it!
Britain’s job market is in good health but our survey with @Pertempsjobs shows businesses are worried there aren’t enough sufficiently skilled people to fill the number of vacancies. #ETS bit.ly/ETSrelease

Imp data on extending working lives from @ONS finds main barriers are health issues & caring. People 50-64 are more likely than any other age group to be balancing work & care.
