How can we ensure that flexibility in the workplace is accessible and fair for everyone? This week, I am thrilled to dive into an enlightening conversation with Claire Campbell, Chief Executive of the award-winning social enterprise Timewise. We explore the pressing issue of making flexible working arrangements more equitable in our post-pandemic world.
We also discuss how Claire and Timewise are driving positive change by:
⭐️ Exploring innovative solutions such as AI software to create intelligent rosters that consider staff preferences and skills.
⭐️ Highlighting the differences in access to flexibility between office-based, site-based, and shift-based roles.
⭐️ Implementing fairer flexible working practices across various industries, from the NHS to construction and retail.
Claire shares insightful strategies and real-world examples, such as the impact of team-based rostering in the NHS and job-done, knock-off approaches in construction.
