Questions to ask yourself when listening to Podcast 5

TUPE – Service Provision changes

Does the way we structure our client services put us at risk of losing staff if we lose an account and a transfer situation arises?

When bidding for new work/client accounts, have we factored in the possibility of staff transferring to us?

If we are at risk of losing staff, how can we manage that effectively?

Flexible Working

Are our policies up-to-date and compliant with the legislation?

Do we provide information to staff eligible to request flexible working about the types of arrangement they may wish to consider?

Are line managers aware of the specific grounds on which a request for flexible working arrangements can be refused?

Do we need to provide line managers with additional training to better enable them to deal with requests to work flexibly?
