Flexibility

The concept covers a combination of practices which enable organizations to react quickly and cheaply to environmental changes. In essence, flexibility is demanded from the workforce in terms of pay, contractual rights, hours and conditions, and working practices. This extends to the employment market, requiring jobseekers to show a willingness to move location, change occupation and accept radically different terms of employment. See also ‘Numerical flexibility’, ‘Functional flexibility’, ‘Flexible firm’, ‘Flexible pay’, ‘Flexible specialization’.
