Where do I start with developing flexible working and childcare options?
We have a Work Life balance Toolkit which is available on CD-Rom for more information see the information leaflet or contact your local officer for further information. The starting point for developing flexible working and childcare options is to identify both your business needs and the employee needs and then develop a business case. Consulting your staff to identify their needs is essential to ensure you are developing the appropriate options. We can help you identify your business needs and employee needs, and also establish the work-life balance practices that already exist by working through a checklist. See factsheets for information on a wide range of flexible working options and see historical CMB employer case studies for information about how some employers have developed flexible working and childcare options.
