Flexible Working

Kelly

Hello all, 

I’m looking to undertake a research project around flexible working as we all find the ‘new normal.’  I’d like to find out how this currently works for your organisation…

How have you made the transition to flexible working? 

What have been the benefits to your organisation?

Is it possible to sustain high growth with this type of working method? 

Any advice that you can give about how it works for you would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

    The term 'flexible working' is very broad. Identifying the specific arrangements that are likely to succeed in your organisation depends on the nature of your business and the corporate culture.
    Documented benefits (in the public domain) include increased engagement and productivity; support for a more inclusive workforce; the ability to attract scarce skills and support for progressing women into senior management roles (reducing the gender pay gap).
    It's not only possible to sustain high growth, it's typically the case that flexible working makes life easier in high growth situations for two key reasons: firstly the focus is on outputs and not hours worked and secondly because employees are better able to find work life balance and therefore at lower risk of burnout.
    Successful flexible working requires manager training so that work and employees can both be managed effectively and on an outputs basis. A review of your entire suite of HR policies to ensure they support flex is also recommended.
