Common questions

Why document flexible working requests?

A documented process helps managers show what was requested, what was considered and what decision was made.

Can managers consider operational impact?

Yes. The process should capture enough context for managers to assess cover, workload and role requirements.

Does HR stay involved?

HR can keep visibility of requests and outcomes without manually controlling every step.

Is this only for office roles?

No. Operational teams also need fair processes for flexibility, shift changes and working arrangements.
