| Abstract: | Empirical data is presented from a study investingating the implementation of the flexible working policies that emanate from the improving working lives standard in a National Health Service Trust inthe UK. It is argued that gender is accorded insufficient focus in the literature, and that gendered perceptions render unworkable attempts to portray flexible working as a gender-neutral issue. It is demonstrated that such perceptions mean that formal mechanisms for working continue to be considered a women's issue. It is suggested that a greater focus on combining these mechanisms with formal flexibility might help provide working time flexibility for a bigger proportion of the workers. |
