For small and medium-sized
businesses (SMEs) getting to grips with flexible work can be problematic.
But it may also be crucial to succeeding. And the development of new,
flexible small businesses is at the top of the agenda for most regional
development agencies.
The Flexwork project is
supported by the European Commissions Information Society Technologies
(IST) programme. The project aims to provide services to SMEs to raise
awareness via their web site and through events under the patronage
of local regional development agencies. The website contains a number of
useful case studies.
FlexWork is also working
closely with a number of Regional Development Authorities in Denmark,
Germany, Ireland, Portugal, Switzerland and the UK so that they can better
understand the requirements of small businesses for information about
flexible working and to refine its package of support materials.
