About this Event

Flexible working is here to stay, but are employers and candidates truly aligned?

Join business leaders from across Sussex for FlexForward26 and be part of a discussion on the current state of flexible working best practice across the South East.

When & Where:

  • 12th February
  • 8:00 – 10:30am
  • Sussex Innovation Centre, Science Park Square, University of Sussex, Falmer
  • Breakfast included

Our latest candidate survey highlights a significant gap between what businesses require and what job seekers expect in terms of flexible and hybrid working arrangements.

  • Best practice in flexible recruitment and working models
  • Practical ways to bridge the gap between employer needs and candidate expectations
  • How to attract and retain the right talent in a flexible-first world

We’ll be joined by (Bon Insight) and (Sussex 4-Day Week), who will share the science, data and real-world evidence behind why flexible working matters and how to embed meaningful flexibility into your HR and recruitment strategies.

Your insights and participation will help shape the future of work, for your organisation and the wider Sussex business community.
