Flexible Working
We know it’s difficult for VCSE organisations to offer competitive salaries so we have to think of other ways to attract job seekers. Flexible working is something that really attracts job seekers post Covid but there are also many other benefits to offering flexible working options to your employees such as increasing workplace diversity, being more inclusive, reducing sickness and boosting productivity. Many organisations have adopted flexible working for staff, offering working patterns that are adapted to suit the needs of your team.
CIPDs flexible working factsheets explore the benefits of flexible working, the types of arrangements commonly used and practical tips on implementing flexible working practices.
This guide has been developed for people professionals who want to maximise the benefits of flexible working within their organisations, incorporating flexibility into people plans, strategy, and their employee value proposition.
Hybrid working is a form of flexible working where workers spend some of their time working remotely (usually, but not necessarily, from home) and some in the employer’s workspace.
Many organisations use hybrid working arrangements and research has consistently found that employees value and desire flexible work, including opportunities to work in a hybrid way.
This guidance covers how to plan and support effective hybrid working.
