WORKSKILLS: FLEXIBILITY Host: First of all, welcome back to the studio Michael. Lots of our listeners have written in after last week’s lecture on flexibility in the workplace. You certainly sparked a lot of interest.
M: Thanks. It’s good to be back.
H: So, are you ready to answer some of our listener’s questions about flexibility?
M: Yes, fire away!
H: Ok, our first question is from the manager of a small company in Norwich. He wants to know how he should go about implementing flexible work practices into his company. He doesn’t know where to begin.
M: Well, implementing flexibility isn’t difficult. First take a bit of time to plan your approach. Understand your options and hold a meeting with your staff with an open mind. They might have something useful to say. Then experiment. Try something for a limited period of time and see how it goes. If things don’t work out, try something else.
H: Ok. We had an email form an employer who is worried because he thinks flexibility could work for some members of his staff but not for others.
