    agile working

    a way of working that focuses on performance and results by allowing employees to


    choose where, when and how they do their tasks. It puts emphasis on responding
    quickly to changing circumstances rather than following strict procedures and
    processes. Agile work environments also adopt a fluid distribution of responsibilities,
    which results in multiple people handling a certain task and capable of solving problems
    that may arise.

    smart working

    a comprehensive approach to flexible working characterized by various options for the


    time and location of work, efficient workspaces, effective use of technologies, and
    collaborative team efforts that reduce the need for travel and face-to-face meetings.
    Smart working requires a trust-based culture and openness to continuing changes in
    work practices and business processes.

    5 To describe current trends in flexible working

    Many organizations that have adopted smart working require their employees to use

    physical offices.

    Members of hybrid teams typically collaborate through apps for instant messaging,
