Flexible working at the Council is about working within guidelines for a task but without boundaries for how you achieve it. It's about understanding different work styles. And being open to whatever creates a balanced, motivated, innovative, and productive team.
We offer four types of flexible working:
- Flexi-role – providing more flexibility in roles, such as part-time hours, job-sharing, and phased out or in (for retirement, injury or return from parental leave).
- Flexi-schedule – building more flexibility into the days and hours that kaimahi (staff/employees) work. For example, flexible working hours, staggered start and finish times, and compressed work weeks.
- Flexi-place – offering choices for kaimahi about where they work. For example, remote working and share-desking.
- Flexi-leave – providing a range of leave that caters to different people and lifestyles. Examples include sick leave and study leave.
