While workplace flexibility could reduce overheads and boost productivity, she is concerned that the point of workplace flexibility has shifted – and not for the better.according to Bourke, flexibility is now about getting of more out of fewer people instead of the previous paradigm and she is afraid of the unintended consequences of this line of thinking.Bourke, a partner at Aequus Partners, is concerned that 'the whole paradigm has shifted to something a little
