Abstract

Financial services firms have regarded flexible working as an option for women struggling with family responsibilities. Now that it has become the norm, says Grace Lordan (LSE), they have an opportunity to measure whether it is cost-effective. Once men begin to see it as good for business, the penalty women pay for choosing flexible working will shrink.
