Owner of a growing business and I’ve reached the capacity of my HR knowledge. While we recruit a HR manager I need to put in place a Flexible working policy. We are a family friendly business and we want to support working parents.
Does anyone have some examples of good flexi policies for full time working parents. We are happy for our admin team to request PT hours but where they wish to remain FT I’d like to explore options which allow for school runs etc. The positions are office based for the most part (a few days a week at home although they cannot be carried out while juggling children as it’s not appropriate for us, our clients or the health and safety of the children).
I’d love to hear about businesses who do this really well. Thank you ☺️

Anecdotal but maybe helpful, I do two short days where I work school hours only, then three longer days when they go to wraparound club.

Make sure you word it that the flexi working is available to all, both parents and non parents.

Offer core hours? 10-3 everyone working with fixed 30 minutes lunch.
Rest of the time can be made up between 7am & 6pm. I used to work with flexi hours like this and loved it! I used to do compressed hours to accommodate my social life- was in my early 20's, so no kids or other attachments!
Obviously it depends on the job role and you'd need to do some monitoring...
