I have a question: what are your thoughts on having a 'trial' period for a flexible working request. For example, employee is moving to other part of the country so we have agreed a pattern of when they are coming into the office as it's quite a considerable commuting time. We have said on a 3 month trial basis to see from either side how it's working...is this a good idea? I am unsure how it works from an employer's perspective if after the 3 months their are teething problems or if the employee wishes to make changes, would they then have to put through another formal flexible working request? Am I over complicating this! Thanks
