Flexible working practices refer to arrangements between employers and employees where working hours and locations can be adjusted based on personal needs. When workers can adjust their working hours or location to better fit their personal needs, work-life balance can be improved along with employee satisfaction.
A traditional working week typically looked something like 9am - 5pm, Monday - Friday. However, employers needs for staff fluctuates depending on a range of factors such as changing demand.
Flexible working practices include full time and part-time contracts, freelance contractors, temporary contracts and zero hours contracts.
