20/1/18 - FLEXIBLE WORKING

29-11-2020

What is flexible working and how can it benefit your organisation. This question was addressed last year by the CIPD (see extract below from their website) "Flexible working is on the rise, giving employees flexibility on where, when and the hours they work. It's traditionally been associated with the needs of parents and carers, but increasingly organisations are recognising the business benefits of a more flexible way of working. This factsheet discusses flexible working as a strategic tool organisations can use to improve performance and productivity. It outlines the different types of flexible working arrangements available, including part-time and compressed hours, mobile working and career breaks. It looks at the potential benefits of flexible working, both direct and indirect" OPEN PLAN WORKING So whilst this seems very encouraging, it does bring with it practical problems with personal logistics which have to be managed very carefully to ensure harmony within the larger open plan office. For example lack of desks, hot desks or workspace. In some offices I know that it is a case of the 'first in' gets a desk for the day which of course may not always the same desk or location each working day. It can be a nightmare for supervisors and management to keep track of individuals. Organised desk plans by supervisors can help so that each morning/day staff are allocated a specifc desk. This can be useful to supervisors and management, but not so for flexible employees themselves, never knowing where a particular working colleague might be located. Our re-usable, interchangeable and in many cases removable name holder products try to tackle some of these problems. Catering for all budgets with many different desk name place solutions. We help too with supplying blank label inserts and offer a choice 2 FREE basic templates for setting up your own name lists for our holders.
