Flexible Working vs Working Flexibly

Speakers: Claire Knowles, Rebecca Mahon

In this webinar:

  • Overview of the legal framework around formal flexible working requests
  • How to manage a formal flexible working request
  • The difference between a formal flexible working request and working flexibly
  • The pros and cons of adopting flexibility in your workplace


Any employee that has over 26 weeks service can make a formal flexible working request in law, and that can be for any reason. A flexible working request can be a request to change their hours, the times they’re required to work, or the place of work.

Rebecca Mahon, Employment Team

In this webinar, the employment team talked about the differences between flexible working in the legal sense, and working flexibly, which is something a little bit different. This webinar covers what people are obliged to do or not do in a formal flexible working request, and how working flexibly can benefit your business.
