Flexible working is a concept that means entirely different things to employees and employers. It is going to take a great deal of case law to clarify which requests can reasonably be refused. Consequently, employers will tie themselves in knots trying to adjust working practices to suit the requirements of those employees who request flexible working when the honest answer is "sorry, no, because that is not good for our business". Good for the busines is ultimately good for the workfoce of course.
