Flexible work policy

What is a flexible work policy?

A flexible work policy is a company document that sets out where, when and how employees may work, for example how many days in the office, which roles can work remotely and what is expected on office days. A hybrid work policy is one type of flexible work policy.

What to include

  • Who is eligible and on what terms
  • Expected office days, if any, by team or role
  • How desks and rooms are booked and shared
  • Tools, security and support for remote work
  • How the policy is reviewed

Making the policy work in the office

A policy that brings teams in on the same days only works if there are enough rooms and desks on those days. Booking data shows whether the office can support the policy, and where it needs adjusting.
