Flexible Working

Flexible working is an important part of the Staffordshire County Council Travel Plan for numerous reasons:

• It reduces wasteful unnecessary travel and resource consumption
• Assists effective and efficient service delivery
• Operating and administrative costs are lower
• Business efficiency and productivity are higher
• Staff motivation and retention are better
• Better equal opportunities & work-life balance
• Less absenteeism
• Reductions in business mileage costs and need for car parking
• Environmental sustainability is increased 

                   

Management implications:

• Suitability criteria
• Amended contract
• Safe working arrangements (H&S Guide)
• Set up costs- IT requirements, phone line, equipment
• Training
• Management & monitoring

Out of sight does not mean out of control.
