Is your Business Ready for Flexible Working ?
Flexiable working might be coming to your business soon !!
Currently , the EC's flexible working directive of 2003 gives parents of children under the age of six the "right to request" flexible working. Employers must either accede or be able to provide a substantive business reason to turn down the request. According to government fiqures, 22 % of parents with young childen have requested the option and 80 % of requests have been granted by employers.
Presure for flexible working is sure to increase. More employers will be able to request flexiablility as of April when those with sick or elderly relatives can pursue flexible options.
The move away from Nine to Five deskbound working is asking new questions of IT Departments, which must adapt procurement,service and security to cope with growth in home and remote working. Other chnages may also need to be made, including health and safety advice and insurance cover.
To get around these issues a not-for-profit initiative run by Work Wise can provide your business with practical advice and services. http://www.workwiseuk.org/
