Flexibility should be genuinely two-way. Wherever possible, employers should allow people flexibility in when and where they work.

Technology blurs boundaries between work and life outside, but individuals need to feel in control.

• Secure, interesting, fulfilling jobs
• A culture based on trust and fairness
• Reward and effort in balance
• Degree of control over pace of work and environment
• Employee voice
