Work/Life Balance

A good work life balance should bring rewards for employers as much as employees. Traditional and rigid working patterns are breaking down as the shape of society and the needs of business change.

Our Employment Unit is at the forefront of the radical changes which are reshaping working lives. Our goal is to create a mutually-advantageous balance between the needs of businesses and employee expectations of flexible working.

Employees now enjoy increased rights to time off, family-friendly working hours and there are flexible working rights for parents and carers.

Employers can gain from flexi-time, home working and part-time hours as they potentially reduce costs.

We can advise you on setting out guidelines and implementing appropriate policies and procedures to encourage these practices.

We can also advise your employees on their rights to a range of flexible working practices.

Other issues we can help with include maternity, parental and paternity leave, time off for dependants and ensuring a good work life balance.

Overall, we can help you modernise your employment practices and adopt approaches that are practical and sympathetic. This not only enhances a company’s reputation, it can also have a positive effect on its bottom line.
