Flexible working is about maximizing freedom to work where and when it suits you.

The term 'flexible work practices' covers all the innovative ways employers and employees can agree to structure work to accommodate business and individual needs.


Flexibility and Flexible Work are terms used to describe a wide range of work styles and employment practices.


It should be recognised that flexible working does not suit everyone. Some people prefer the structured, work day and perform better when they are surrounded by their Colleagues.

However, there are a great many people who are well suited to flexible working patterns and who not only improve their productivity but greatly enhance their own quality of life.

"Flexible working" is a phrase that describes any working pattern adapted to suit others needs. 


Types of flexible working are: part-time:, flexi-time (choosing when to work) annualised hours (your hours are worked out over a year) compressed hours (working your agreed hours over fewer days) staggered hours (different starting, break and finishing times for employees in the same workplace) job sharing (sharing a job designed for one person with someone else) and home working (working from home).
