Make flexibility work for your organisation
Flexible working strategies that deliver bottom line results
The post-COVID world looks very different for flexible working. Five years ago we were helping clients with convincing their organisation to ‘mainstream flex’. Today it’s more about making hybrid arrangements work well. To do this we put solid guidelines and principles in place to allow people to work flexibly while meeting the team and organisational objectives and goals.
Helping your organisation rethink flexible work
Flexible working isn’t just about working from home. We encourage our clients to define flexible working broadly as:
- Flexible location – not necessarily only working from the office.
- Flexible hours – debunking the myth of the 9-5 culture.
- Flexible role – full-time isn’t the only way people work. It’s also about part-time, job-sharing compressed work weeks etc.
- Flexible leave – offering a range of leave options to allow people to balance their work and life requirements.
Our flexible work strategy, planning and support services
We help with:
- Assessing the flexible working culture – is anyone being left behind, or is there inequity for those who do work flexibly such as career progression penalties? What about people who taking longer periods of leave such as parental leave or career breaks?
- Creating guiding principles for flexible working that allow for consistency of experience across the organisation (doesn’t depend on who you work for or which part of the organisation you’re in).
- Designing flexible working policies for leading inclusion outcomes.
- Coaching for leaders to start from the position of ‘yes’, set flexible working trials and untangle flexible working from performance while still ensuring that team outcomes are met.
