Flexible Work for On-site Staff

There is a growing discontent between your hybrid workers and your on-site teams.

Where once working remotely was the privilege of the few - it’s quickly become an expectation across all industries and roles.

But despite its growing popularity, not everyone is offered access to flexible work. 

How, for example, do you offer flexible work for roles that must be carried out on-site e.g. warehousing, face-to-face customer service, construction, etc.?

Progressive organisations are considering what they might offer when the task must be carried out on-site.

They realise that there is a growing discontent among staff who cannot work virtually - and they need to address it to stop perceptions of unfairness.

Other organisations are hesitant to embrace change, hence missing out on the countless benefits that flexible work has to offer.

They are opening themselves up to charges of unfair treatment.

When people have the ability to balance their personal lives with their work lives, they're happier, less stressed, and more productive.

And there’s the key - what flexible arrangements can you offer to your staff that must report to work at a physical location? Split shifts? Compressed shifts? Swapping public holidays (one of my favourites)? 

There are many options (get in touch if you’d like a hand).

By providing flexible work options, organisations can show their commitment to the wellbeing of ALL their employees - not just knowledge workers.

“Every job deserves some flexibility. It cannot be viewed as a scarce or privileged resource.” (O.C. Tanner)

What has your organisation done - what have you, as a leader, done - to meet the flex work demands of ALL your people? Including those whose job requires them to report to a physical location?
