One employee wants to start later to accommodate caring responsibilities. Another wants to work from home several days a week. Before long, employers can find themselves trying to balance multiple individual requests with the needs of the wider business.

Flexible work arrangements are now a common feature of many workplaces, but there is rarely a one-size-fits-all approach. Staffing requirements, customer expectations, team dynamics and operational demands can all influence what may be workable in practice.

Join us for this practical webinar to understand how to assess flexible work requests fairly, balance employee circumstances with operational needs and make decisions that can withstand scrutiny.

In just 60 minutes:

• Know Your Obligations: Understand who may be eligible to request flexible work and what employers need to consider when responding
• Assessing What Is Workable: Learn how staffing requirements, customer service, productivity and the nature of the role may affect the decision
• *When It Won’t Work: *Explore when a request may not be workable and what reasonable business grounds can look like

You’ll also have the opportunity to ask your questions during the live Q&A and receive practical guidance from our experts.
