Flexible working may be something companies operating out of serviced offices in Cardiff want to consider offering to all employees.
Shirley Borrett, development director at the Telework Association, claimed that everyone should be entitled to varied hours providing it is not detrimental to business.
"We have this notion that carers and parents deserve flexible working – but what about all those people that don't have children? They still deserve a life," she commented.
It was suggested that "enlightened organisations" have recognised that if individuals can present a viable business model then their request for flexibility should be considered.
Ms Borrett noted that there are many reasons why organisations may turn people down, but as long as colleagues and workloads are not adversely affected there should be no issues.
Her comments come after the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development called for the government to extend the right to flexible working to all.
