National Work Life Week
Summary
The event is run in partnership with another work and family charity called Bright Horizons which is sponsoring the week. People began working from home, and offices that were once filled with employees stood empty, but the businesses continued under a new model. Most of us remember learning how to use Zoom for the first time to talk to colleagues and family members across the country, and indeed the world. More of us work from home permanently, and those companies who have insisted their employees return to the office have struggled with recruitment and retention. Things to do in your setting to mark the NWLW • Have open discussions with your team about flexible working if you have not got this as a policy already • Visit the NWLW website and check out their resources and ideas which include a free toolkit, webinars and training • Sign up for regular updates by email • Drop in on their ‘Lunch and Learn’ session • Use the ‘Happy to Talk Flexible Working’ logo and strapline on job vacancies • Run a questionnaire among your staff to canvas their opinions • Introduce a pilot scheme to see what the take up would be in your setting for offering more flexible working • Review and reconsider your policies affecting training recruitment and as well as parental leave
