Supporting Flexible Working 

The council recognises the critical role that employees have in every aspect of service delivery, continuous improvement and transformational change.  Key to meeting the challenges faced by the council is a committed and flexible workforce who are supported to deliver critical services while maintaining a work-life balance.  In this regard, the Supporting Flexible Working Policy seeks to support the council's People Strategy outcome to be an employer of choice.
