We helped the Senior Management Team at London Borough of Sutton to initiate plans to move to new, more flexible ways of working. A short, concentrated workshop led to plans to change culture, the identification of the best places to start and tangible benefits that could be achieved.

Like many other local authorities Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council were facing recruitment difficulties and wished to retain existing staff. They also needed to find new accommodation and wanted to increase access to their services. They recognised that the introduction of all types of flexible working across the Council would enable them to meet these business targets. Wisework produced a Business Plan including risk assessment, a Project Implementation Document and Plan, as well as Flexible Working Policy documents.
