Flexible working
What is flexible working?
Making the best use of the most appropriate workplace
locations to enable council employees to do their work more
effectively and deliver services that meet customer requirements
and reduce the council's carbon footprint.
Key aims
The
Transformational Government Agenda requires local authorities
to ensure that services are focused on their customers. By
rethinking the way employees work, we can save money and also
make staff more mobile, delivering services to customers in a way
that's convenient to them.
Key benefits
- Reduction in our carbon footprint
- Flexible delivery of services to customers and improved
work/life balance for employees through flexible and mobile working
arrangements
- Less office space leading to reduced costs
- Less administration leading to reduced costs and quicker
processing times
- Council officers able to complete inspections/deliver services
on site and update their back offices remotely in real time
- Increased personal security for field workers and better
management systems. Managers know where their staff are and
what they're doing at any time.
