🚚📦🚌 Logistics contributes £170bn to the economy & employs 2.7m people. Yet it records high rates of job insecurity, poor work-life balance & low autonomy. Our new report outlines the case for redesigning work in the UK’s most exposed sector.

Workers told us: flexible working requests get approved on paper, but workloads stay the same. Careers stall, burnout rises. New legislation arrives in 2027, but without culture change, the gap between policy and practice remains. Read more: https://t.co/S67XpHVUh0

The Keep Britain Working Review rightly calls for action on working age ill health. Tackling inflexible work in frontline sectors & using stronger incentives—procurement to tax reform—drives real change for flexible, healthy jobs that work for everyone. https://t.co/epQlH8LV1j

[Timewise @Timewise_UK]

Workers without flexibility are 4x more likely to leave after health decline. Our new report calls for Workplace Innovation Agreements - incentivising employers to prioritise retention over recruitment. #HealthyByDesign https://t.co/epQlH8LnbL

Our Beyond the Clock programme in Scotland started this month. Burnout, turnover, inflexible rotas - they’re tackling it head-on. We're proud to be supporting these pioneers tackling shift-life balance head on. 🔗 https://t.co/jFcAnWtTcT

[The Work Foundation @WorkFoundation]

🏆 Our #ResearchOfTheMonth goes to @Timewise_UK for their research paper 'Healthy By Design?' which shows that just 60,000 of the 2.4 million people economically inactive due to long-term ill health find a job each year. (1/5)

📉 Only 2.5% of health-inactive people return to work yearly. 57% who do get unsustainable frontline jobs. We're calling for healthy work standards & £500m fund to fix the revolving door between inactivity & poor employment: https://t.co/epQlH8LnbL

“Staff with caring responsibilities gave the strongest responses to the pilot, with some describing it as “life-changing”.”

Life-changing.

It works in the private sector. It works in the public sector. It’s life-changing.

What are we waiting for?

It’s time for a 4-day week.⏰

[Timewise @Timewise_UK]

🧸 From this week, 9-month-olds are eligible for funded childcare in England. Transformative for families IF we have staff to deliver it. However 70% of providers lack capacity due to staff shortages. Flexible working could help fill half the shortfall. https://t.co/FNER4v7X5p

Ever thought part-time work was just for parents? 🤔 Think again! 41% choose it for care duties, 22% for health. Managers are on board, but cultural hurdles remain. Read our report: https://t.co/NZqrwKmvqF #PartTimeWorks

🚨 Construction needs 240k workers in 5 years but here's the real problem: "recruits 200k/year, loses 200k/year". It’s a recruitment AND retention issue. Our pilots proved flexible working cuts turnover & boosts productivity WITHOUT impacting delivery: https://t.co/W7sS4brFGh
