Join techUK for a workshop that will feed into the consultation on Making Flexible Working the Default. This consultation includes a set of proposals which are built around the principle that working arrangements are best decided through a constructive, open-minded discussion between employer and employee.
The session will be introduced by Matthew Wootton, Labour Markets Directorate, Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, who will provide an overview of the policy context of the consultation. This will be followed by a discussion on the proposals to reform flexible working regulations.
Flexible working can be particularly valuable for those who need to balance their personal lives with their working lives, including those with caring responsibilities. It can also bring benefits to employers – attracting more applicants and increasing productivity and motivation levels among staff.
Whilst certain ways of working may suit some employers and employees, they won’t suit all – and therefore it is important that Government does not prescribe specific arrangements in legislation but rather provides an enabling framework within which such conversations can take place openly and fairly.
