Baroness Smith of Malvern emphasized, "We think that flexible working is actually good for productivity...you work ten hours a day for four days. So you're still doing the same amount of work, but perhaps you're doing it in a way that enables you, for example, to need less childcare, to spend more time with your family, to do other things."
Under the proposed bill, employers can refuse compressed hours if they prove it’s "not reasonably feasible." However, this poses challenges for key sectors like teaching, as compressed hours won't suit everyone.
