IN BRIEF
When companies receive employee requests for flexible working
arrangements, understanding if they can accommodate their
employee's need for flexibility, whilst still maintaining their
business and client interests can be a difficult balancing act.
In a business environment where there are competing interests
between employers, employees and clients it's difficult to
strike the right balance in order to preserve productivity and
profitability, whilst still meeting the needs of your employees and
clients. This very balancing act may arise where an employee
requests flexible working arrangements in the workplace.
Understanding how, when and if you can accommodate your
employee's need for flexibility whilst still maintaining your
business and client interests, is an important factor in the
balancing act.
