On Tuesday 12 November, Dr Calum Carson participated as an invited speaker in a roundtable exploring how flexible job design and help to improve employment outcomes for people with fluctuating disabilities. Highlighting recent research on “FlexPlus” jobs conducted by Kings College London researchers Catherine Hale, Ben Baumberg Geiger and Kim Hoque , speakers at the roundtable (consisting of employers, professional organisations and researchers) discussed how employers could help to support people to better balance their disabilities and/or long-term health conditions with their working lives through the introduction of “FlexPlus” jobs, and how best to persuade employers of the virtues of such roles. More information on the FlexPlus project can be found here.
