Encouraging flexibility to
create an agile workforce
Lynne Player, HR Business Partner at Alexander Mann Solutions and a
member of the flexible working steering group, provides practical advice
on supporting flexible working for all.
T
he world of work is constantly
changing and, to meet the demands
of both our clients and the talented
individuals we look to attract and
retain, we need to find agile ways to
work. Our focus on improving flexible working
for all is part of Alexander Mann Solutions’ wider
strategy around being a more agile organisation with
an agile workforce. For us, flexible working is about
creating an environment where we engage our
talented people and enable them to be productive
and efficient. Our guiding principles are that:
• all roles can flex in some way
• we will be fair and transparent in decision making
• we will consider the needs of the client, the business and the individual
• our leaders will create an environment of autonomy and trust
• performance will be managed on outputs and behaviours
• flexible working will not limit the career opportunities of the individual
• we will have the tools and technology to underpin any change
• flexible working is inclusive and open to everyone
