Let's Talk about FLEX

Reimagining the Workplace

Flexible working is having a fundamental impact on the way we work; with evidence of increased happiness and productivity, it is a win win situation for all! ....But how is this working in the arts; infamous for long hours and low pay, how ‘creative’ is the working culture of our ‘creative industries’?

I want to hear about your Flex experience;
Are you getting it?
Are you not getting it?
Is it working?
...and what more support do we need to make it work?

Thank you for taking part in this survey. The results will be shared in March 2020.
