Requests for flexible working from employees can be a challenge, especially in the new world of work post-Covid.
Deal with it badly, and your organisation could end up with tribunal claims for unfair or constructive dismissal and discrimination.
Everyone responsible for dealing with flexible working requests must have the skills and know-how to manage the process fairly, but also in a way that is practical and makes business sense.
Who should attend?
Anyone in a line-management role, including HR as well as business owners and decision-makers.
