Businesses are changing how they organise their workforce due to the recession, according to new data released by the CBI

The CBI study reveals that 45% of employers have increased flexible working among staff, 43% have cut the amount of paid overtime that is available and a third are using less agency staff.

"The UK's flexible labour market has proved a huge asset during these testing times, and flexible working changes have enabled employers and staff to create leeway on working hours," said John Cridland, CBI Deputy Director-General.
