Trade and Industry secretary Patricia Hewitt has announced a series of free masterclasses to help companies learn how to overcome inefficient working time practices.
Nine masterclasses will take place across the country, aiming to give companies the chance to learn how other organisations have benefited from innovative working time solutions.
Issues that will be explored include: managing high client demands (24-hour service provision); tackling ‘hot spots’ of long hours working within particular departments/teams; and creating flexible working arrangements.
Hewitt said: “Lots of businesses want to challenge the long hours culture, give their businesses and their staff some sense of control and choice, while maintaining or even increasing productivity.
“These masterclasses will give them an opportunity to learn from other firms who have already made improvements to their work practices, and have seen the benefits.”
