Martin Lyne, director of SME marketing at the mobile firm, said that most small businesses now realise that they can benefit from allowing employees to have greater flexibility in their work/life balance.
The change may be down to an improvement in technology which allows staff to work even if they are not physically in the office.
'Many small businesses also rely on part-time staff, such as parents, and the mobile technology enables them to work around their family schedule,' he said.
'Mobile technology helps small businesses be productive regardless of where they are,' Mr Lyne added.
New figures from REC JobsOutlook agreed that flexible working arrangements are a main factor driving growth, as one on four employers plan to take on extra agency workers in the next three months.
A further one in three are expecting to add to their temporary staffing within the year.
