Lunch and Learn
Do you want to familiarise your teams with progressive practices around flexible or family-friendly working? Perhaps you’d like practical actions to support parents and carers when they return from leave. Or maybe you’d like to explore ways of working that can boost engagement and productivity.
An expert-led, interactive lunch and learn session can introduce these topics to your teams and provide guidance and practical tips. Perfect for parent and carer networks, awareness days, or team-strengthening sessions, they are typically happen at lunchtime but can be at a time to suit you and your people. Our current programme of sessions include:
NEW! Flexible Recruitment
Following on from the introduction of the Employment Relations (Flexible Working) Act in April 2024, introducing the right to request flexible working from day one of employment, we have designed this new session to highlight the benefits and practicalities of Flexible Recruitment. Exploring job design, flexible recruitment process, how flexibility fits within teams whilst showcasing best practice case studies of flexible recruitment in action from progressive employers along the way.
Top Tips for Flexible Working
Understand how everyone can have a role in creating a culture of flexible working, including tips on communication, what works best and where, sharing the load and gaining support from team members.
Best Practice Support for Staff Returning to Work after Family Leave
Help line managers or HR specialists support employees navigate a positive journey back to work by helping them to understand the challenges involved as well as best practice.
Best Practice Support for Working Parents and Carers
Support to working parents and carers is vital to a vibrant and engaged workforce. This session will focus on our knowledge of best practice and how to support staff during their journeys to parenthood or caring, along with some expert tips on flexible working.
Best Practice Support for Working Carers
With the new Carer’s Leave Act in place, we have developed a session dedicated on how to support carers in the workplace. In this session we will explore what a carer is, how to support carers along with tip tops for carers within the workplace and showcase our Best Practice Award Winners & Finalists for Carers.
- Lottie and Susanne, that was a really thought provoking and useful session, and I think it’ll have really helped raise the profile of flexible working and empower people with caring responsibilities.
- I wanted to thank you for such an amazing session you held with us last week. We received very positive feedback, despite the low attendance. There are already a few actions we want to take forward, one of them is introducing a carer's passport. It was a pleasure working with you on this event and I hope we will continue with our collaboration.
