Last updated: April 27, 2025 at 08:14

Flexible Work Arrangements

To support staff in balancing their professional and personal lives, we offer a range of flexible work arrangements, including:

  • Flexible Working Hours: Employees can adjust their working hours to better fit their personal schedules, accommodating various needs such as childcare, education, or personal health.
  • Remote Working Options: Staff have the option to work from home where possible, enabling them to manage their work alongside personal commitments and reducing commute-related stress.
  • Support for Parents and Caregivers: We provide specific resources and support for parents and caregivers, including access to childcare support services and flexible leave options to manage family responsibilities.
  • Personalised Flexibility: We encourage staff to discuss their individual needs with their managers to tailor flexible arrangements that best support their work-life balance.

Equal Caregiving Responsibilities

We are committed to promoting gender equality in caregiving roles and work-life balance by:

  • Encouraging Equal Sharing of Caregiving Duties: We actively promote a culture where caregiving responsibilities are shared equally among all employees, regardless of gender. This includes advocating for fair distribution of parental leave and other family-related responsibilities.
  • Equal Parental Leave: Our parental leave policies aim to provide equal leave entitlements for all parents, ensuring that all parents have the opportunity to take time off to care for their child.
  • Support for Caregiving Responsibilities: We offer additional support mechanisms for staff with caregiving responsibilities, including flexible working arrangements and access to resources that help manage both professional and personal responsibilities effectively.
