Why attend this conference
Employee expectations of the working conditions we provide have shifted over the last few years. Gone are the days when staff arrived at their designated desk at 9am leaving at 5pm having completed their allocated work load. Instead candidates are asking the question “how flexible are you?” in interviews and basing their decision as to whether they should accept a job proposal on the given answer. The law has also changed to ensure that we, the employers, make flexible provisions for working families. But, despite these apparent constraints employers do now have a choice to make, they can either simply continue to work within the boundaries of law or they can go one step further, as some organisations have already done, and explore ways to turn flexible working into competitive advantage.
This conference will look at the technical side of flexible working such as the legal rights of the employer and employee, effective performance management for flexible workers and how to ensure that home workers are in a safe environment conducive to good productivity. It will also look at how flexible working can be employed advantageously now and in the future to help organisations achieve their strategic goals.
