We’ve been asked if anyone has a good example of a template TOIL policy? 🤔 Managers discretion leaves it open to very different interpretations and we know the work/life balance is so important

So true, we’ve come so far but we still have so far to go - what can we do to convince the people who want to go backwards on flexibility?

Sigh 😔 Would love to see any actual evidence to these ‘arguments’…

More of this please 🙏

When is flexible not flexible? Jobs are increasing being flagged to us as being advertised as flexible but with hidden barriers. Have you experienced this?

We often hear organisations want to try flexible working, but aren't sure how to facilitate it. We love to see organisations trying new ways to create the culture - here's one example being trialled at RNID

👀 We see you inclusive on paper but not in practice orgs

Thought provoking thread. I know many of you have been pushing and celebrating sharing of interview questions…but is this causing different issues? Any thoughts Matt Smith Jo McGuinness (she/her) and other flexible working pros?

Genuine question - why is the default for so many London based charities still office based or hybrid (needing to be in London 2-3 days a week)? What are the barriers to charities taking a #FlexibleFirst approach, where the role could be done office OR remote based OR hybrid?

Flexible First Charity Sector Gonna go with having to pay rent anyway so why not fill the office to make that feel worthwhile, valuing presentism, the lack of understanding/fear from changing working practises, and disbelief that relationships/culture/performance management can be done well remotely…🤷‍♀️

Flexible First Charity Sector 🌶 More often than not it’s trustees still not getting remote working. Also, the correlation between not going full hybrid and ‘we just signed up to a 3 year rental agreement and refurbed the office in 2020 at great expense’ is fairly significant

To add to this, why are so many national charities London-based? #CharityTuesday

Anyone got any great examples of charities that used to be default 9-5 in a London office and are now #FlexibleFirst in their approach? We want to show the doubters that culture can change 🙌

Really interesting blog for anyone looking at the move to fully remote and no core hours

We keep hearing about a recruitment crisis…but also hearing from candidates crying out for roles 🤔 So if you have a genuine #FlexibleFirst job advert, tag us in and we are happy to share and play match maker

Well this sounds an awesome place to work, check out this role ‘We are a flexible employer – committed to adapting how we work to allow employees to thrive inside and outside of work’ 🙌

Sadly we know that this is true in the charity sector and have countless examples. What can we do to combat it? 🤔

Great flexible supporter experience role British Red Cross 🧡 👏

Do we think that this will help push the charity sector into a #FlexibleFirst approach? theguardian.com/money/2022/dec…

With snowy weather, lots of illness and lots of activities going on in December, what are the ways in which your employer enables you to work flexibly around this?
