A flexible workforce refers to a group of employees who have the ability to work in different ways, such as having a flexible schedule, working remotely or being able to switch between different roles or projects. This type of workforce allows for a more adaptable and responsive approach to work, which can benefit both employers and employees.

Flexible workforce can help businesses to increase productivity and employee satisfaction, retain top talent, and reduce costs such as absenteeism, turnover, and the expenses of running a large office.
