Flexible Working Regulations
Under the introduction of the Flexible Working Regulations (6th April 2002), by the UK government the philosophy of having a balanced life between work and family commitments became a reality to some and a possibility to many.
The Flexible working law enables parents with a child under 6 or a disabled child under 18 to make a request for flexible working, and places a duty on employers to consider such request seriously and only reject them for good business reasons.
From 6 April 2007 the law will extend the right to request flexible working to carers of adults. The definition of carer is an employee who is or expects to be caring for an adult who:
- is married to, or the partner or civil partner of the employee; or
- is a near relative of the employee; or
- falls into neither category but lives at the same address as the employee.
For many organisations flexible working has been seen as a time management exercise , employing working practices such as part time working, flexi-time, shift work, job share etc. The Technology available from Central enables organisations to allow staff to work from home, to telework, hot desk or to work nomadically whilst having full and secure access to the resources of the office.
These technologies which include voice and data convergence, Unified Communications, Presence Management, Collaboration IP telephony, network security, progress reporting and mobility allow employees to work anywhere, anytime without their efficiency or ability being affected.
