There are still huge groups of society being excluded from work because of our 9-to-5, five day a week, office based prevailing approach. We focus on supporting 7 groups who are structurally excluded from the workforce:
Disability - 82 percent of people without disabilities work, but only 53 percent of those living with disabilities do; a 29 percent gap. Mental health - 43 percent of people with mental health problems are in employment compared to 74 percent of the general population; a 31 percent gap. Caring - 61 percent of carers don’t do paid work but 50 percent of those would like a job; a 31 percent gap. Neurodiversity - 77 percent of people with autism want to work, but only 26 percent do; a 51 percent gap. Illness - 50 percent of people with long term health conditions say health is a barrier to the work they can do; a 50 percent gap. Ageing - only 39 percent of retiring workers do so voluntarily, the majority would prefer to continue working in some capacity; a 61 percent gap. Parenting - 86 percent of working parents want to work flexibly but only 49 percent do; a 37 percent gap.
Workstyle is the freedom to choose when and where you work which, in turn, will create a happier, more fulfilled society through a world of work without bias. We will do this by closing the gaps for those who are structurally excluded from work by replacing 9-to-5 traditional working with workstyle, levelling the playing field and creating true inclusivity and accessibility in our society.We have supported thousands of workstylers around the world to set, project and respect their own workstyles, and are conducting pioneering research into the link between autonomy, productivity.
