A third of parents with youngsters have left a job because it is not flexible enough to care for their children, results from a new poll show.
The poll by Opinium found close to a third (30 per cent) of workers with children aged under seven said they had seen informal flexible working requests being rejected, either in part or in full, while more than a third (33 per cent) of parents chose to leave a job due to lack of flexible working options.
