Employers are starting to properly recognise that technology is now availible to allow staff to work productively and efficiently outside of traditional working patterns.
The government has recently confirmed that they will be extending the right to request flexible working to parents with children up to the age of 16. This means that there’s now an urgent requirement to assist businesses in their preparations for these changes.
Managed correctly, flexible working can play a key role in boosting staff morale and effectiveness, as well as attracting the best talent. Oliver Chivers, head of business markerting at T-Mobile UK, has provided a series of recommendations to ensure that businesses make the most out of flexible working.
Flexibility is often cited as the main benefit of remote working. Modern technology gives us the ability to work in different ways, from a variety of locations, and at times we choose. What impact does this have on human resource issues?
A more flexible approach to working hours gives employees more control of their working day. Employment experts regard ‘time sovereignty’ – having control over your working time – to be as important to employees as the number of hours they work.
Not all individuals or roles are suitable for remote working, of course, and managing and monitoring a remote workforce can bring challenges, but where it is a viable choice, remote working offers considerable benefits to staff morale, retention rates and ultimately productivity.
With more flexible work patterns, staff can fit their work tasks round their domestic arrangements, organising their days around school-times, for example. This can lead to a more fulfilling life outside work, giving people increased opportunity to spend time with their families or enjoying pastimes. The result is a workforce that is less stressed and distracted by work-life conflicts.
