Flexible Work: rights, requests & what works

Understand the law. Navigate flexible work requests. Build arrangements that work for people and workplaces. 

No one should have to choose between their career and their family. Due to gender stereotypes, women are often expected to do more unpaid caring and domestic work, and many end up having to sacrifice their career as a result. Flexible working arrangements help address this barrier, supporting employers to nurture and retain effective and diverse leaders.
