Workplace Flexibility

Workplace flexibility means employers and employees making arrangements that suit them. This helps employees maintain their work/life balance and can improve business productivity and efficiency.

There are many types of flexible working arrangements. They may involve changes to when, where or how work is done. They may be temporary, ongoing or for a fixed period.

This course will help you to understand why flexible working arrangements can be good for your business. It outlines your legal obligations and shows you how to negotiate and manage flexibility so that it works for you and your employees.

There are many examples of flexible working scheduled roles, some cases include:

• Giving employees the ability to design their own rosters with remote access through rostering and shift-swapping applications
• Flexible start and finish times
• Combining and sharing roles, for example: four days in an operational role and one day in a role that allows for remote working.
