Improve the way flexible working arrangements are working in your business. Reap the benefits of flexible working arrangements, including employee experience, improved productivity, and diversity.

This course identifies different types of flexible working for your company, including part time, remote working, and job sharing.

In this practical course, find out how to improve the way you manage flexible working arrangements in your organisation. Discover how to engage with staff about flexible working arrangements, and manage the challenges that arise with flexible working.

Despite the benefits, flexible working arrangements have proven challenging for workers and employers alike. Many workers struggled during the lockdowns, with technology issues and a lack of support and collaboration with colleagues.

We will explore successful case studies of distributed workforces and remote working arrangements in NZ and overseas.

There will also be opportunities for attendees to share their own experiences on managing remote workers.
