What Is Flexible Working? | HR Glossary | BambooHR
Working arrangements that give employees choice over when, where or how much they work.
Flexible working covers a range of arrangements — flexitime, compressed weeks, part-time hours, job sharing and remote or hybrid work — that give employees more control over their working pattern.
It supports work-life balance, widens the talent pool and can boost engagement and retention, particularly for parents, carers and those with health needs.
Successful flexibility depends on trust, clear expectations and the right tools, so that autonomy does not come at the cost of collaboration or fairness.
