# Flexible workers. A no-brainer, as our research shows…

#### **Flexible workers? You’d be mad not to hire them. How do we know? Because the benefits to business are huge – as shown by our [Flexible Working Survey 2017.](https://www.ten2two.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/2017-ten2two-flexible-working-report.pdf)**

We recently surveyed 1,150 employees who are currently registered with our part-time and flexible recruitment agency. We wanted to find out how attitudes towards [flexible working](https://www.gov.uk/flexible-working/overview) have changed in the ten years that our flexible and part-time recruitment agency has existed.

- 84% of those who replied are managers and professionals.
- 33% had held Director or Senior/Middle Manager roles.
- 44% had earned over £50k when employed full-time.
- 96% of our Members interviewed were female and 84% were aged 35-44.

This tells us that from our Members who are seeking flexible work, many are highly qualified with great experience which they can draw upon to excel in a new role. So why wouldn’t an employer want to tap into this highly skilled talent pool to access great quality employees?

You can read the[full report in detail here](https://www.ten2two.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/2017-ten2two-flexible-working-report.pdf). To register as a job seeker with our part-time and flexible worker recruitment agency, [get in touch via our website](https://www.ten2two.org/) today.
