POLL RESULTS! Results are in from our recent LinkedIn Poll: flexible working hours topped the list of supports for mental health in the workplace. This reflects a growing need for flexibility - not just as a perk, but as a vital part of workplace well-being. For employees, it’s about finding balance. For councils, it’s about creating a work culture that prioritises mental health. Whether you’re an employee advocating for change or a council implementing it, the benefits of flexibility are clear: healthier, happier teams and a more productive workforce.
