Workplace flexibility allows for creative conversations to take place about the nature of work and how it is performed. There’s no cookie-cutter approach to flexibility. It means different things to different people, and comes in various forms.
Workplace flexibility allows employers to attract and retain top talent, achieve increased productivity, and foster an agile response to changing market needs.
Employers have a legal obligation under the Employment Relations Amendment Act (2014) to provide a process for any employee to request a flexible working arrangement.
With over half of the New Zealand workforce either currently working flexibly or wanting to in the future, leadership in a flexible environment is critical to managing the workforce of the future.
Measuring the impact of flexible work arrangements in your organisation can help you understand your data and impacts of initiatives, and to show you where more work needs to be done to realise the full benefits.
