With more clarity on their own requirements and business needs, the employee can propose a flexible package drawing on elements from EY’s wheel of possibilities. Our “How to make it work guide” directs employees and their managers, as the first step, to explore together potential solutions that accommodate the needs of all parties involved.
Flexibility concerns everyone, whether as an employee on a flexible working arrangement, as their manager, or simply as a colleague. All have a responsibility to make it work. To foster engagement and commitment, we harnessed the power of storytelling. By sharing inspiring stories of employees who have thrived with flexible work arrangements, we created empathy, fostered understanding, and motivated leaders, managers, and employees to embrace this cultural shift. The data derived from our people pulse survey and the endorsement of New Work concepts further solidified the business case for flexibility.
