Which matters more in your workplace? Being there and looking busy? Or getting results? In our video pack Sue Cook shows how flexible working helps people and the organisations they work for, and introduces some alternatives to the ‘9 to 5’ norm. And there are practical steps for managers and individuals to plan, achieve and manage the flexibility they need.
MODULE 1 (12 mins) Flexibility: why? People suffer and their work suffers when productivity is measured by merely ‘being there’. Many people will recognise themselves or their workplace in this drama scene, showing what goes wrong for staff and the employer in the absence of flexibility.
MODULE 2 (21 mins) Flexibility: how? Real examples of flexible working from Barclays Bank, Hertfordshire County Council, the BBC World Service and University College London Hospitals Trust show what can be achieved, and who benefits. Job sharing, reduced hours and working from home are shown.
MODULE 3 (10 mins) Getting flexibility To get the flexibility you need in working patterns, hours or place, you have to know how to ask for it, and be clear exactly what you are asking for. Consider its impact on you, your colleagues and your manager. There may be alternatives: be ready to compromise!
MODULE 4 (7 mins) Managing flexibility Introduce flexible working on a planned basis after involving the team. Use innovative ways to manage it: communicate, have clear measures for managing performance, trust staff. Responsibility for making it work should be shared between managers and staff.

Video 1: Working with disabled staff
Disability: is it a physical or mental impairment? Or is it the way the world fails to cater for you if you’re not ‘normal’? This 30 minute video challenges many assumptions about disabled people. In it we meet people with a range of different impairments, working successfully in widely different jobs. The case studies raise issues about prejudice, access to work, attitudinal barriers, training and support. There is also an entertaining ‘Equipment & Adaptations Lucky Dip’, which shows that making ‘reasonable adjustments’, as the law requires, is often simpler and less expensive than people imagine.
Video 2: Serving customers with disabilities
13 million adults in the UK have a disability or care for someone who has. If you’re in business, you ignore this huge market at your peril. This 20 minute video shows how making goods and services accessible to disabled people is good business sense. And it explains why ‘accessibility’ does not just mean ramps for wheelchair users. Beyond physical accessibility, the examples show the importance of awareness of disabled people’s needs. The ‘Equipment & Adaptations Lucky Dip’ shows how easy it often is to serve disabled customers better. And the programme ends with a guide to disability ‘etiquette’.
