Text Content
A medium-sized distribution company wanted to promote their family-friendly policies. They made copies available to employees, explained what they meant, and how they worked. Managers were briefed about the importance of flexibility and coached on how they could support staff. This resulted in higher engagement, more part-time roles being created, more staff working from home and lower staff turnover. www.fairwork.gov.au | Fair Work Infoline: 13 13 94 | ABN: 43 884 188 232
