Flexible working means offering your employees alternative work patterns and arrangements including reduced hours, permission to work from home etc. There are many good reasons for providing flexible working arrangements. For example:
 

  • It promotes equality of opportunity in employment for many people; especially for women and people who have disabilities.
  • Evidence shows that most employers in Northern Ireland believe that employees should be able to achieve a satisfactory work/life balance, and that the provision of flexible working arrangements either has no negative impacts on their businesses or that it delivers positive benefits, such as increased employee motivation, commitment and productivity, less absenteeism and better employee relations.
  • Having flexible working practices often encourages staff retention and cuts down on recruitment costs.
