Flexible working practices and support still not available for close to a third of UK employees

Despite the significant leaps forward recorded in the field of flexible working, close to a third of UK workers still feel that their employers do not provide the level of flexibility and support they require.

According to a YouGov survey for MHR, 32 percent of employees don’t receive the option to work flexibly. Furthermore, employees taking part in the study that complained about lack of support blamed rigid hours, a lack of flexible working, micro-management and poor leadership.

The research shows how a combination of good management and flexible working practices helps to create a positive company culture, inspiring workers and impacting their overall happiness and job satisfaction.

TENSOR TIME AND ATTENDANCE SYSTEM OFFERS EXTENSIVE OPTIONS FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF FLEXIBLE WORKING HOURS

Tensor plc supplies an extensive range of workforce management solutions that cater for all the requirements of the modern workplace, including features which will help employers feel more confident about implementing a flexible working pattern.

The system can supply working rules for a variety of purposes, from simple determination of overtime by the number of daily hours worked, to the more complex payment of overtime hours adjusted when periodic targets are not met. The system also contains special rules to accommodate the formal flexitime contracts worked by many public sector employees. Workers paid on an annual contract basis can receive reports stating how many contracted hours they have yet to work.

Additionally, our top-range WinTA suite features an On-line Self Service module that allows staff to clock IN or OUT, check hours, request holiday leave + other functions via internet, mobile or other communications.
